Something done and the next project up
Finished the socks to be worn as slippers since they are worsted weight and probably won't fit in any of my shoes! Pretty happy with them but sure wish I'd made the legs longer. Had lots of yarn left. Not in the mood to change them though...
What I am in the mood for is the next project. It might be slow moving since I've never done stranded mittens before but am excited to learn something new and if I can do a nice job I'll have some really special mittens!
The purple and off white (Berroco Ultra Alpaca) are the mittens and the red (blue sky alpaca Melange) is the lining. I washed the yarn with Cookie's helpful suggestions, (Thanks!) and it's a good thing I did. That red bled like crazy. I think I got it stopped now though!
