I have been working on some Fiddlehead mittens and have finished the first outer mitten. Since these mittens are lined, I will end up knitting 4 mittens instead of 2. It is pretty uneven. That is where the fact that I don't have very much experience in color work shows. I have high hopes for the blocking process. If they fit when they are done, these will be for me.
I made some very nice lined mittens for Devon last year.
They were the Anemoi Mittens by Eunny Jang. They were
my first attempt at working with color and they turned out pretty good if I do say so myself. I added a fleece lining. They are very warm and soft.
Project Two:
This is the progress I have made on a City Bag from Knitting magazine - March 08. I knit a few extra rows because I got caught up in knitting it up. The stitch pattern was very relaxing to knit. The bag is going to be felted, so I have no idea what the finished size will be. According to the pattern, it will be 15in high x 19in wide. We'll see. I have had some inconsistent results since I got my new front loading washer. Anyway, Devon has already claimed this bag. If I like the results, maybe I'll make another one for myself. This is what it is supposed to look like when it's done. I haven't seen the handles anywhere around here. I will have to look around online.
Project Three:
This is a pattern from knitty.com. It is the Shetland Shorty from the Summer 08 issue. I haven't worked on this since July. 
I got to the part where I will be adding the garter stitch edging on the neckline, front and armholes. I picked up the front & neckline stitches and came up way short. This shrug is for Chelsea and she won't be able to wear it until summer, so there really is no hurry.
