I thought that was Koigu. I think I actually own a skien of that color.
Do you know how to cable without a cable needle? In my experience it really speeds things up and the learning curve isn't too steep. I figured it out own my own once I heard of the idea. The trick is to pinch the stitches as they come off the needle so they aren't just floating there.

The Dulaan mittens are so nice.
OH man, can I relate to the "someone gave him a carrot," experience. Happy Thanksgiving..........!!!!!
O, those marvelous Merike gloves! With Koigu, no less. They'll be worth the five-hour cuffs and the peeking over the top of the glasses to see the microscopic stitches you're trying to pick up.
Your MIL is a lucky woman to have such a lovely pair of gloves!
