The finished leaf-yoke sweater

I finished the sweater on Wednesday, having added to the collar because I prefer something higher, not feeling as if it's halfway down my shoulders.  This is unblocked but I wore it to the knitting group Zoom meeting tonight and it fits well:

This is much closer to the
actual colour.
     
Yarn is Lion Brand Woolspun in "Moss Mix" which I keep thinking of as "Swamp Mix".

The KnitTalk group is doing a very easy challenge during the Olympics:  State that you will do something, and do it.  Unlike some groups, you don't have to try to make something from start to finish during the two-weeks-plus timeperiod (February 4th through 20th), for which I'd end up declaring a hat.  It can be as simple as "five rows of a shawl" or as complicated as "three pairs of socks" or "finishing a UFO" or whatever a person wishes.

I said that I would make some mitts, which have been percolating in my brain and needed to get OTN.  This is the first pair, for which I am working from alternating ends of the cake:
The yarn is from Lithuania and is scratchy in
the ribbing but soft in the stockinette part.

These will definitely be fraternal because you can see that one is more purple and the other more blue.  I pulled the ball in half and flipped them for the second one, so the fingers part of the mitts should match, or be close.  Time will tell.
