White Witch Mitts

My first fair isle project. Frankly it looks a little sloppy. The tension on my left hand is much looser than the tension on my right hand. Also I used DK weight yarn when the pattern called for sport weight yarn and still used US 3 needles which I think was a mistake. Another weird thing is that when I stick my hand in the mitten I can feel all the yarn that was carried across in the back when I was using the other color for a while.

I like the colours, and the pattern. With regard to feeling the yarns that were carried ... did you use the Philosopher's Wool technique of wrapping the yarn each stitch?
