Sunday was the last day of Knit in Public Week and just happened to coincide with a monthly yarn group which meets at a cafe, there was lots of lovely knitting going on.
I took along both my in progress projects and managed to do most of the finishing there, though of course when I came home I realised that I am not very good at counting in public and needed to redo the top of the second mitt to make it match the first one.
Finished Strawberry Ripple Mitts - a test knit of Ripple Mitt pattern by Alicia made in vintage Patons Bluebell.
The Mauve Triumph socks are a perfect fit for my feet. While I was unsure about crochet socks and put off trying them I think these will be perfect for wearing with boots. The sole does not have the same lace pattern as the top of the sock so it is a little thicker than a knitted sock but very comfortable to walk on.

Back to gift making - I'm thinking a pair of crochet socks for The Father as he has requested more socks!
Enjoy your Monday.

Love those mitts and of course the socks are brilliant.
Beautiful mitts to match those pretty socks. Love both of them and especially the colours.
I wonder if crocheted socks are warmer/thicker than knit socks?
Your socks and mitts look great!
Yes, your hand warmers and socks look very warm indeed. Hugs Judy

Oh I am jealous of the socks and hand warmers! It is only just over 11C in my kitchen at the moment. I know how to do a basic crochet chain stitch and yarn dolly hair, but that is the extent of my yarn skills. Love what you made, xx debbie
These are fantastic....
