Shiny Distraction

I am a lousy monogamous knitter (which means this sweater may be here for awhile!) and I realize you might get tired of looking at pictures like this...

so I will distract you with shiny new yarn...

I divided this bright beautiful Fat Cat Knits 64% Kid Mohair/25% Merino/11% Nylon Blend in Winter Doldrums colorway (mid winter mini club) into 4 color sections to make this pretty 2 ply yarn. To preserve the softness and luster of this fiber, I spun and plied it quite loosely.

There are 4 small skeins (total of 267 yards/4.9 ounces) and I'm thinking of making mittens from Magnificent Mittens, but am not sure yet.

I'll leave you with some close-up peeks ...
