leaving the fingers to Cadbury

Today I finished knitting the pair of mittens I'm giving to my friend for her birthday. She's the pretty, freckly one from Mayo and what better colour for an Irish girl than a nice grassy green? Posting yesterday about AllKnitwear has me feeling unimpressed with the sensible colours I've been choosing lately and now I really want to make something bright and cheerful. Nothing too extreme.. I'm not proposing a rainbow scarf to partner my reflective yellow bicycle jacket, but just because the weather's grey doesn't mean we have to be too!
