firstfrostTwo completed projects!
The first is a pair of Snicket Socks, though I did the heel and toe differently than the pattern calls for because I'm not fond of short rows. They have an interesting sort of chicken-wire look to me, though it's certainly very soft pretty chicken wire.
The second is Endpaper Mitts for![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
shumashi, in her traditional Not-Matching style, though they actually don't match even more than they're supposed to, which I'm rather embarrassed about. So maybe they're not completed after all. Also, I find it interesting to look at the patterns - in both of them, the dark brown looks to me like the "pattern", and the light rose-brown is the "background". Does it look like that to other people?

Date: 2008-11-20 12:43 am (UTC)I so want a pair of these mermaid fingerless gloves (http://craftoholic.blogspot.com/2006/03/mermaid-gloves.html). But I am quite clear they are out of my very meager knitting skills.
I am happy to trade off for another project I AM good at.
