I kept knitting...decreased the toe and tossed it to my sister to try on, getting her opinion.
"These are too small" she said.
Great, well, no surprise, I knew that. I guess I was hoping that magical knitting fairy would appear and add 8 stitches to the circumfrence. Hmmm. It didn't happen.
That's ok though. There is another person on my list that they will fit...that is really why I just kept knitting. So, the other sock is on the go and I should finished these up tonight. YEAH!
Thank you for your comments on the yarn...I do love that they are washable, but the pilling worries me. We will see.
In other knitting news. I made a picot edge hat (I promise that this is the last picot edge thing I will knit), to go with my mittens.
Not too bad!
I will write up the pattern for those of you that want a matching hat for your mitts! The mitten pattern is here.
They both make great Christmas gifts...get knitting!
One month to go!

So cute! And absolutely perfect with the mittens.
Now stop showing me pretties while I'm trying to stay on task with my holiday knitting.
oh, matching knitwear is the best. glad you have another pair of feet for the socks!
What a gorgeous color on you! Great yarn and beautiful pattern!
I really like the hat and mittens. I have some yarn nearly that colorway. Can you say "happy?" Isn't it nice that you have someone who can enjoy the socks, even if they don't fit you? It is sort of like a surprise...finished...Christmas present. Thank you for sharing your mittens pattern.
Love the color! Can't wait to see the hat pattern. Now who deserves both hat and mittens....
I love the hat. I love the fact that you did a lot of ribbing.
I LOVE the toque! Thanks for offering such a cute set at exactly the right time of year!!
I am really loving all your Fo's lately. They are gorgeous and your photographs. I hope to make the "A" cowl, picot mittens, hat and scarf as well. I lurve it!
A great ensemble. A pretty color and a nice Jacket.
