The set!

Once upon a time i fell in love with a verigated green skein of Manos Del Uruguay. I was looking for yarn to make my first pair of mittens, and it was so wonderfully soft and warm feelingand it made me happy.
What came first was a pair of flip topped mittens adapted from a mitten pattern i've now misplaced. I wish there was more overlap at the palm, and the felted more than i'd like but other than that they are wonderful.

Then came the hat, I had some Manos left, and i bought a skein of Woolease bulky (i think, i'm really bad at saving the wrappers), and i tried my hand at rediculously easy fairisle. I'd like to think it worked out pretty well, the green looks neat because each time it shows up it's a different shade.

then i still had a little of each left, so i made a fat short scarf, which was fun because i used size 15 needles with a strand of each in each stitch.

now i have my matching set! What is really interesting about it is that in each, the green interacts with the black differently so it hardly looks like the same yarn.
and here's me wearing it! Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
