brown muddy springtime

this year in southern minnesota we are experiencing an especially verdant springtime, but many years winter drags its feet, leaving us with browns, greys, and just a hint of green.

april's bundles of joy theme is "tiptoe through the tulips - springtime color explosion" (or something like that, i may have taken a few liberties with the title) but i've decided that my chosen donation project for this month will pay homage to the late arrival of spring.  so i present to you my current wip, muddy miters:

it's a phazelia's mitered baby jacket (rav link) which i've had my eye on since claire made one almost three years ago.  the pattern is crazy-fun, very baby-surprise-jacket-esque in my opinion (although i've never made one of those either, so who am i to say?) i'm just excited to flip it all around like magic when i'm finished and have a sweater!  voila!  

so bring on the magic and bring on the muddy miters!  who says babies need to wear pastels anyway?!?

all this talk of muddy miters has gotten this song stuck in my head... "up to my neck in high, muddy miters"  (heh heh, i'm like the weird al of knitting songs.)

I've knit a baby jacket a bit like this before, and it amazes me how it comes together!

Are you ready for the deluge of comments? ;)

I personally love that you opted for a Minnesota spring variation to the theme...they are beautiful colors no matter what time of year it is!
