Starry, Starry Mitts

I've never done anything with colorwork - and the attempt(s) I've made up to now are ...ehm ... well, let's say there is room for improvement. Basically, I couldn't knit colorwork to save my life ... :)

But I had this idea about a pair of fingerless gloves with a star around the thumb - knitted in the same direction as the Starburst Mitts. So I tried a few times and frogged a few times. However, the version I've got now seems to work, looks OK ... and the finished one even fits around may hand.
