The mittens got put on hold as 2 patterns arrived to be tested. The first is a sweater that is growing on me.
It is a bulky style using fine yarn. Expensive fine yarn on my part.
The second pattern has a hat and sweater. I've finished the hat and it is really cute.
I'm knitting the second sleeve and then it's on to the body of the sweater. I'm slow at this as I don't have a good way of knitting with 2 yarns and it isn't without trying to learn a way.
