After completing Poppy's Dandelion mittens on the cruise,
I blocked it and it's dry now. The points don't pull out as well with DK yarn as they do with fingering. Also I used a suggested eyelet border (Larissa's) which is included in the pattern, after the cast on but forgot to do it again before binding off. Oh well. It is nice and snuggley.
I borrowed Poppy's 4mm knitting needles for this, and cast on the smaller size as I was using larger yarn.

As I've probably mentioned before, this is an excellent project for that one,random, lovely ball of fingering weight or DK weight yarn.
As a review, here are the others I've knit with either fingering weight, or two strands of laceweight plied together.
2 plies of Yarns Lang Merino 400 lace:
2 plies of Anzula Wash My Lace:Sometimes you just need something to keep the back of your neck warm. VEVO is perfect for this. The finished item is soft and light and easily jammed into a coat pocket without taking up too much room.
I'm off to drop off my taxes. Coincidentally there is a yarn shop in the same town that I haven't visited in eons.
