The February Lady Sweater. THe green is a little sage-ier than it appears here. I don't think I have enough of the green to make it as long as I want (I hate 3/4 sleeves - even though I always push up my sleeves, I like knowing they can cover my wrists if I want them to...), so I'm adding some black as an accent - the yoke will be black, and I am finagling the pattern a bit to add front bands later, also in black. The green is some Headwater wool I bought in Kitchener, and the black is some Peruvian wool I had hanging around. The black is somewhat softer than the green, and this will be nice around the neckline.One for someone else:
My niece (she of the Twilight books) is feeling a little hard done by lately. She's been working hard for years with singing, dancing and all things arts related, and had landed some bit parts here and there, nothing major. Her little brother (my 10 year old nephew), without trying remarkably hard, has recently landed a fairly big part in a large Toronto musical production. (Yes, we are all thrilled for him - he's got a year contract, and is on his way to big things, we think). She's been great with him, helping him rehearse and being supportive, but she needs a little something to let her know she's appreciated. And yesterday I found this. Bella's Mittens.
Oh yeah, she's going to love these...

Oh, what a thoughtful aunt you are - just the thing!
I've been seeing those mitts everywhere and I WANT some. Don't have any bulky 100% wool though. Maybe I can put two strands of worsted together?
The FLS I've been working on is sage green with eventually, charcoal yoke and bands. Everything has gone wrong, so be careful if you stop by my blog :)
Found you through the links of the blog the pattern was on for the mitts, This is my first pair too!!! I messed up on the first one...so frustrating!!! I left out a cable somehow!!! Sigh...so I thought I would take a break and try to see how everyone else's were turning out:) Need some inspiration right about now...
