5.1-5.15.2011 Attended a Giants day game, and a Kentucky Derby party, lots of studio time...

and knitted the ninth (hand) sock of 2011.

Knitting Notes

Each month we have three choices of sock patterns to knit from, two special and a plain vanilla sock. Sometimes the choices include a "hand" sock of some sort.

For May I decided to try one of the special patterns, Fallberry Mitts by Anne Hanson. Gorgeous in a subtle fingering weight superwash wool, Melody by Jojoland, don't you think?

I had to unravel this first mitt quite a few times before I got the thumb gusset right, but still it took a lot less time to knit than a sock. My feet and ankles are so much bigger than my wrists and hands!
