Something Different

I branched out a little with these socks.  Couldn't settle into a pattern easily when I started with the yarn but was told about this pattern by my friend Angela.  Started it & it worked out okay & didn't take much thinking.

So much for this yarn being for Stuart.  He's missing out on this pair.

It's Cold

The boys asked for mittens for the mornings.  These fingerless ones work up quite quickly.  They are only miniature really so it wasn't too much of a struggle.  They picked their colours.  Seems DJ has started a trend in his class. 

Mintie

Love you Mintie!

My third pair of scrap socks.  These are really cool.  Matching but in sort of reverse.
