Two Projects

[firstfrost]

Two 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 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?

On the one with the rose border it looks like that - on the one with the brown border I think rose is the 'pattern' color.

And I'm very impressed at your rate of sock churning-out. Out of curiousity do you (or have you ever tried) the 'two socks at once' technique. I read about it once, although I don't remember where.

I see the rose as the pattern and the brown as the background. Although it's a little disconcerting on the brown-trim one.

I kind of like them as a pair, though, I like the inverse effect.

Hey are you bribe-able for another project?
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.
