E wanted mittens with a flip top, not my favourite thing to knit. I sent a sample for size, made from Russian joined scrappy yarn.
She picked out one of the colours which she called teal, and I would call peppermint green. Then changed her mind for a red that matches her Gryffindor scarf. Bit of a contrast on the colour spectrum there, E! I thought I would put in some gold stripes on the cuff. Matching the red was a bit tricky, not having the scarf with me, and the computer changing everybody else's. We'll see.
