My next knitting project...
I fell in love with a pair of Druid Mittens by Jared Flood, featured in Vogue Knitting's Fall 2008 issue, and I went on the hunt for a yarn that would be perfect for it. I needed to find something lightweight but warm, and it couldn't be wool, or have any mohair, angora or alpaca in it due to allergies. On Saturday, I headed to the big Cricket Cove in Blacks Harbour with Ann in tow. Ann picked up some beautiful turquouise and lime green chenile and a new pair of bamboo knitting needles, and I found some yarn for my newest project. It's 100% Merino Wool 2/6 from the Fleece Artist (yes, I can actually wear & touch merino wool for some reason!) and the colours are orange/red/brown so it'll match the scarf I just made.
I'm using very small (Size 2) needles, which means tiny stitches, so it may take a while to finish these.
UPDATE
I think the variegated color of the yarn takes away from the design of the pattern so I'm going to start over with a lighter yarn that's all one color.
