As you can see, handspun can definitely make things interesting. I knit these up exactly the same, but evidently I spun more thinly as I went along. I went and ripped out 6 rows on the longer one after these pictures were taken, so at least the hands are the same length. I left the rest because I didn't want to reknit it. I also used up pretty much all of the handspun, which I spun from local fiber. They're really warm, but I need to remember to put them on before putting my coat on, since they're pretty thick.
