next!

All done with the hat and mittens set. Looks pretty cute, if I do say so myself. Kinda sad to part with them, but working with that yarn again made me want to wear my new year's sweater from last year a lot more. And I have concluded that it is even better than I remember. It was only the second sweater I made and I'm ebarrassed to say that it was much more successful than some of the later ones.

Alrighty, bring on the next project! I did a bit of swatching for the vest for my husband. That Rowan wool cotton is absolutely amazing, so soft and smooth - it's like buttah! But before I can get to the brown buttah, I've got the baby mutssjaals to make. So this weekend, I'll be swatching the Cascade 220 and mathing up the pattern. Fun.

Lucky recipient!! I like the way the colors worked out--I think it's fun that they're a bit different...

oh, I like the way the mittens obviously go together but don't exactly match. so nonchalant of them!
