The pattern is Jane, from Rowan's A Yorkshire Fable. I switched the Aran tweed (wool) for summer tweed (silk and cotton), so it is a more year-round weight.
I've really wanted to try my hand at fair-isle knitting, and I have been trying to diminish leftovers from my stash, so the perfect solution seemed to be a fair-isle beret, Mist, also from A Yorkshire Fable. (I originally bought this book for Juan's Aran sweater last winter- never thought I would use so many patterns from it!)
It is currently on a holder, since I needed the needles to get started on my other project, Celtic, from Rowan #40. This is what it looks like so far. I am using yarn from the stash, including some Katia tweed yarn I got in Madrid this past May. It's not supposed to be on circs, those are just what I had in the needle size.

You did awesome on your mom's sweater, and that Fair Isle is looking great. I am too chicken to try it still
