Would the child's size accommodate a lining, or should I go up a size (even though I'm afraid they would be too big)?

We finally have some cold, snow & ice and I'm able to pull out my knits and wish I had some bright mittens! I love seeing your projects, your color sense is so amazing! The Dyakcraft needles- LOVE mine! I have one precious pair of DPN's and treasure them since they may now be irreplaceable!!! Stay Warm, and can not wait to see what you have coming up! bitten78https://www.blogger.com/profile/07757926135450247501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35689847.post-46073227725652491002015-02-18T08:56:57.509-06:002015-02-18T08:56:57.509-06:00Susan,

You encourage and inspire me to just be a better person after reading what you're up to. Thanks for sharing your insights and the way you give to others in practical ways. I read your posts and don't feel guilty for not being able to knit that day. That's a gift in itself! So appreciate your work.<br />Noellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10435069657489857297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35689847.post-74330183710444768362015-02-18T07:41:25.551-06:002015-02-18T07:41:25.551-06:00pens and needles,

I'm never able to make the thumb with forming a hole. Wish I could sit with you are you form the thumb to see how to avoid that hole. :( Otherwise, I love your pattern -- it's MY problem, not yours.
