FO Friday - Socks and mitts

On Monday I finished my Good Beer Week knee-highs.  I'm very happy with them. The pattern, by Winwick Mum was a great recipe. I also knit a pair of socks as a gauge swatch in January, and discovered that on 2.25 needles, with this kind of sock yarn I should be looking at a 60 stitch sock.

I made long foldover cuffs, and they are warm, and sparkly and stay up well. Winner of a project.

I also have enough yarn (50 grams of the plain blue, 20 of the sparkle stripes) to make either another pair of socks, although I think I'll make sneaker liners.

After finishing the socks I cast on a pair of convertible mitts for my mother. It seems like a really practical idea for my public transport taking mother, and also a good use for this lovely handspun that I wasn't sure what to make. I had a plan when I spun it, but then decided against my original plan. This works though, and works well.

I was going to give them to her at dinner tonight, but we've got a 7 day lockdown happening. I guess that means there will be lots of progress on my next cast on, Hallow Moon shawl. I might even do some dying this weekend.
