I have cousins coming down from Vermont for a "learn How to Knit Weekend". I would love to be able to teach them how to make a simple scarf with the beautiful green color and add some felted flowers for a summery look. /and if I had enough, I would make a knitted mermaid doll, with her tail in the Sea Witch color. I hope you don't give up on such a color, it really is pretty, as are the blue and the orange.

I believe that much yarn, in that color, would become a long sweater to keep her nice and cozy as the fall days start to get grey and chilly.
