Default Sock FOs and other projects OTNs

Here are my two most recent pair of finished socks. They are both "Monkey" by Cookie A. The blue/purple pair are done in Lorna's Laces Shepherd Sock "Fresh Stripe" colorway. The green pair is Opal something or other. It's in German lol.





Here is the first mitt of my Bella's Mittens, done in Caron Simply Soft Eco, doubled. The color is Charcoal.


The last is a blanket I've cast on for ds10. I cast on last night...all 332 sts. I've gotten 24 rows done...that's almost 8000 sts already

Those socks are so cool. I hope mine that I make for next month's challenge look half as good as those do.

I love, love, love the socks, and I told you last month how much I loved the last pair of those mittens you made.

I have trouble with the Opal labels too!

Are they solid colors?

And I think it's great how the Lorna's striping came out in Monkey socks.

I think your new user name should be Flying Fingers!

The Opal is Zwerger Garn? It's solid Kermit green lol. The Lorna's Laces were two different lot numbers I didn't realize it until the striping starting to be slightly different on the second one. One ended in 29 the other ended in 92. I ordered them at the same time, so it was a screw up from where ever I ordered them from.
