WIP- Labernum socks

Pattern: Labernum from Sensational Knitted Socks
Yarn: Knitpicks Essential in Burgandy
Needles: Aluminum size 2's








I need to finish kitchnering the afterthought heels but other than that these are 95% done. These will be x-mas gifted... I will do these again because it is a 4 row pattern repeat and easy to memorize.

FO-Mittens from Knit n' Style

Pattern:Mitten from Knit n' Style (December 2007)
Yarn: knitpicks wool of the andes and swish leftovers from hats, etc.
Needles: size 6 dpns








These mittens are made from the top down and I really liked the pattern until I got to the thumb and the remainder of the pattern is in the Feb 2008 issue. I had to figure out the rest of the pattern from the thumb down which wasn't a problem but kinda ticked me a bit. I guess it will teach me to read the pattern entirely before I start, then I would have known that the entire pattern wasn't there. I will gift these to my sis for x-mas. She already has a hat made from knitpicks swish in grey and purple and these mittens will match great.
