Yarn Strategy

I have a quick pair of mitts on the go, but there's a slight problem. According to my calculations, I don't have quite enough yarn.  I could plow right ahead and brace myself for a game of yarn chicken at the end, but instead I decided to do a little planning and avoid the game I almost always lose.

I looked at my odds and ends and found a delightful contrasting color. 
I added a couple stripes to tie everything together.  Right now I'm feeing confident about my strategy, but I won't claim success until I cross the finish line with two complete mitts.
