110 yards, Grignasco? And 2 skeins are Rowan baby alpaca. It isn't too tiny but I'm used to 85g, I guess!
Though now that I checked, I started a sweater years ago using 50g. It's about a quarter of the way done...hah. Should work on that too.

Yeah, sport weight sounds about right. I'm not sure two skeins is enough to do much with, but I like using that weight of yarn for lace work.

I suppose she could do a hat. In FACT, there's a fantastic pattern I saw...
I think sport/DK is the right weight for it. I mean to make this hat this winter.

I was thinking hat, or a set of fingerless (or normal) mittens with one of those knitted headbands. Or maybe learning to do socks.
I like that hat pattern but I don't know how to cable yet though. Yet.
I will say - I got into knitting when a friend's mom gave me a pair of wrist-warmers/fingerless mittens for the office. They are absolutely heaven when it's freezing in here but I still have to type. Probably the most thoughtful gift I've ever gotten.

KnittingPatternCentral.com has about a zillion links to free fingerless glove/mitten patterns.
Each day is a gift, that's why it is called the present.

I like ravelry too, although you need a membership and some patterns are paid downloads.

When I wanted to learn to cable, I bought some cabling needles and went to youtube. You will be shocked how easy it is. (Wicked) Originally Posted by jessmarimba
