that doesn't mean I wasn't sweating bullets yesterday. I'm making the Green Autumn mittens that are on the front cover of Vogue Knitting, Fall 2008. They're pretty intricate. The yarn and needles are small and you have to cable a lot. I'm at the point where you put part of the stitches on a holder for the thumb. It took me most of the day to get this far. That includes taking out a couple of rows .I'm using Rowan Yorkshire tweed 4 ply. I don't know if it's still available but I got mine at Skein. I may need to go back and get that one final skein that she has in this color. I think my gauge is a tiny bit off but that's good since I think these need to be a little larger around the hand. Row gauge seems to be fine though.
Here's a better picture of the colors in the latest multi-directional scarf. I've started another one.

I have yet to get up the courage to knit these mittens. I still haven't knit the Koolhaas hat, and it's been almost a year now. But I will. The multidirectional scarf looks lovely in these colores.
Look at those mittens! Love! The scarf colors are gorgeous. :)
