I have finished clue 2 for the first sock of Kirsten Kapur’s TTL Mystery Sock 2013 and have started working on the mate, which should be done this weekend.
I love the stitch pattern and I’m quite pleased with the color I decided to use from my stash as it really shows off the design. The next clue will be the heel, which should go fairly quickly.
I have to admit that I truly can’t wait to finish this pair of socks so I can wear them!
This weekend I’m casting on a super quick knit by Tempe Croke. I plan to knit a pair of Bulky Fingerless Gloves on 2 Straight Needles using my stash of handspun . This project requires only 75 yards of bulky weight yarn and a pair of size US 9 (5.5 mm) knitting needles. I plan to use my stash of Chocolate Separates , which is 100% Corridale that I purchased from Woolen Mill St Yarns and spun up about two years ago.
I think this will be a great project and I look forward to a pair of warm fingerless mitts!

What’s on your needles this weekend?
Until next time, happy knitting, crocheting, spinning and crafting!
They’d better be a fast knit, I’m sure you’re freezing this weekend like I am! Your mystery socks are beautiful, and so is your handspun for the mitts.
I hope they are too Darlene
. Freezing over here too but don’t mind it too much, it’s nice to wear my knits !

Thank you so much Ginny! I’m looking forward to knitting the fingerless mitts … it’s wonderful to use handspun, especially when it’s yours
The socks are coming along great, and I agree. The yarn you chose was perfect for this design.
