Mittens
Remember way, way back, a loooooong time ago, right after I had seen the movie Twilight, I mentioned how much I loved the mittens Bella wore and that I was going to try and knit them myself? Apparently half of the people who saw the movie also went nuts over them, and those who can knit made some for themselves, and those who couldn't were begging knitters to make a pair for them. I went to my local yarn shop, picked out some beautiful yarn, then got morning sickness and inertia took over. For the next three months. Last night I decided to go ahead and get that project going. I googled "bella's mittens twilight" and wouldn't you know it, the internet exploded all over my computer. Tons of hits, the gist of which could be summarized as follows: "OMG BELLA'S MITTENS! WANT WANT WANT!" etc, etc. Fortunately one of the hits was for an actual pattern, and it's free! So I downloaded it and am raring to go. As soon as I learn the Magic Loop technique. Third tutorial on that is the charm, I can tell.
