Sheila asked about the pattern for the little lace mitts. Sally and I both made our glovelets from the same pattern: Wine and Roses Mitts from the new Winter 2007 Interweave Knits.Â
The pattern calls for Jade Sapphire Mongolian Cashmere 2-ply (100% cashmere; 400 yd [366 m]/55 g): #039 slate, 1 skein. This yarn is VERY THIN!!!!! Much thinner looking than it appears in the photo. I added fingers only because my daughter insisted. I much prefer them without — but she will be the wearer and so I deferred to her taste.Â
Hope my issue arrives soon! There’s another item to add to the list of things I want to knit, but don’t have time.

Thank you very much for the pattern. Now I have that in hand. Next I need EXACTLY the same yarn that you made “pale green kidsilk haze and Schaefer Andrea”. After about a 35 minute search on the web for the yarn;&(, please tell me where you purchased it, along with the color name and number. And then if you could just knit them for me… Thank you, Major PITA Starr

The color name for the Andrea is GreenJeans. I think. The store I bought it at doesn’t exist in the same form any longer, so I am not sure where you can buy it. As for the knitting them for you . . . uhm. I’ll get back to you. Yeah. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.
Sally
