Trying out the Mucklemuff

So, it's snowing. Or it has been, for most of today. After a very cold day on Wednesday (when I last walked to work), I complained all my mittens / gloves / two-way mittens were thumbless, so my thumbs got very cold on the way to work, but I didn't have time to make my next planned set of mittens (Kate Davies's SnawPaws) before the weather turns warm again.
Then I remembered I spent Christmas knitting a Muclemuff (and complaining that the weather wasn't cold enough to wear it, of course). So this morning, I took it out with me.
I can now safely say that 100g of eider wool top and two layers (or three, if you count the floats) of Wool of the Andes keep your hands toasty and warm like nothing I've ever worn. And the wristloop means I can easily let go of it when I start stumbling in the snow.
All in all, I'm very glad I knitted it! :)
