My FOs for Episode 3!

MEEOOOWWW!!

Loki (left) and Mu Mu Kitty (right) wanted to say hi to everyone!


HAPPY MITTENS

This is my first ever mitten...what do you think? I used Malabrigo chunky yarn on it and sized it down from a size 10 dpn to an 8 dpn. I have freakishly small hands - like a child. Well, I like them, and have plans on making more! I wasn't sure about bulky knitting, I didn't think that I'd like it or the look, but these mittens have changed my mind!

FRATERNAL TWIN SOCKS?

These were the first socks that I did on the two circulars at the same time, I didn't mention them because they were test socks, and they look like it. As you can tell, I didn't get them started at the same point in the yarn so...there you go. Also I kept knitting them together and having to pull the one off the needles...causing me to loose the row...so...I think the one on the left turned out a bit shorter - oh brother! Well, I must say, they are comfortable still - after soaking in the wash, they are quite nice.


HOLLYBERRY SOCKS

Nice, soft, 100% Merino...OOoooooo...
They are a bit thick, definitely for a heavier boot or shoe. (Or what I do, wear them around the house.)


CRAZY NEON IGUANA SOCKS


Here they are the 'Maizey' Corn Fiber socks -in all their glory & mistakes. I was supposed to leave 10% of the short row heal stitches unwrapped...oops, I was a little short on that and left only three instead of 5...the heels turned out a bit pointy.
I did wear them for a short time and they are comfortable - light and airy - good for summer wear in my opinion.
