Dyed in the wool...

I've finished one project using my kool-aid dyed yarn...
This is Andrea's Shawl and it has turned out to be the perfect cool weather accesory.  I just wrap it around my neck and it adds a bit of eye-catching fall color.  Of course, 'cool' weather doesn't last forever in Minnesota.  Arctic blasts will be on their way soon enough so I've begun some coordinating items to accompany my shawl:
These simple, striped mittens based on the mitten pattern in Ann Budd's Knitter's Handy Book of Patterns are now occupying my knitting chair.
