First FOs of 2021

 

Remember this? 



It is now a pair of Cozy Thermal Mitts and ready to be gifted back to the person who gifted me the yarn. 




I made a quick card to go along for the ride. I hope it will be a pleasant surprise. Who doesn't like mitts?




I also finished my latest Pairfect socks. They are not as terrible as I imagined while I was knitting them but they are long. Very long. Letting the colors do what they are supposed to do was a leap of faith in the fitting department but I do believe they will fit a human foot. 



I did cast on more twofers but not with the Pairfect yarn. I think they work best one at a time. This is the Felici that just arrived in the Cloudy with a Chance of Rainbows colorway. I thought you might like to see what casting on two at a time with Magic Loop looks like. The first few rows are pretty crazy but after that it's smooth sailing.

    Nice work! I love those socks. It seems like a hundred years have passed since those days in 2016 in some ways. I am looking forward to a more normal four years, aren't you? Take care.

    Love the mitts and the socks. Of course the card says "hello" to me because I love snowmen! :-)
    I never seem to get past the first 2-3 rows of two at a time socks. I hate all of the fiddliness of it. I need to just persist through and see how I like it. The heels baffle me. I just don't know how it would be done. I guess I'm just really comfortable with my dpn's.
    Blessings,
    Betsy

    You got those mitts done quickly. The look like they will be very warm. I know the person getting them will love them.
