Stripey socks done and Swirly Mittens in progress

Love love love these socks!




Pattern: Generic toe-up socks (I use IK's pattern as a guide)
Yarn: Kool-aid dyed sock yarn (the dyeing of which was described in this post)
I finished these a while ago but only got a chance this weekend to take some pictures.

In other knitting news, I have been interested in making a pair of stranded mittens for a while and been scanning Ravelry for a good pattern. Of course I love Bird in Hand, but I wasn't quite ready for the commitment of buying the pattern. What I was really looking for was something with relatively intricate colorwork and that cool hemmed cuff you see on many Norwegian style mittens. These are beautiful, the pattern is free, and I am in love.

I've noticed a distinct lack of Terry wearing knitted hats/shoes/scarves on this blog. Besides that, great job.
