I'm enjoying playing around with the colors and patterning for my winter mittens. The cuff is good I think, sort of a simple holly leaf look. The next section...I don't like how it's centered so am taking it back down and adding in one extra stitch so I can move it over and give it a completely centered look because that's totally irrationally important.
I have a little over 350 yards of the black Jacob/Texel spun. I am super happy with this yarn and can't wait to start weaving. It's going to make a fabulous throw.
It's a lot of dark, solid color though. I think an accent color, maybe a group of stripes running the length, would be nice. My original thought was gray, but the "black" is more of a dark, dark, dark brown. Sort of a warm black...if that makes sense. Maybe a brown stripe would be better?
Just for example/experiment I pulled out a handful of the walnut dyed roving. Also a chunk of white. Which do you prefer? Or something completely different?
Joining in with Ginny's Yarn Along...even though I don't have a new book...again...and the Wovember Wool Along. If you aren't following all the neat, neat stuff for Wovember, I encourage you to do so!

Oh, I really like the autumn colored wool as a contrast, but all three contrast colors are nice - could you maybe do all three?
