Thank you for all the nice comments. Smile

I'm half way through these mitts in the same Evolution as the Ribbed Socks.

The pattern is based on Fetching but adjusted for sportweight as opposed to aranweight. I will write it up when finished for anyone interested. Smile

Another pair of socks knit from stash. I bought this Posh Emily last year from Pictish, These are No Purl Monkeys knit on 2.75mm DPNs using a modified 14 stitch pattern/56 stitches in total to allow for the different guage. These are a size 6 UK foot.

This is the first of a pair of another No Purl Monkeys. I am half way through the second one. The yarn is Skein Queen's Plushness (same base yarn as PY Emily) in Sugared Almonds. I love the pooling BTW though I know not everyone does. Smile

Oh yes Blossom and using Emily and 56 stitches means that I will have knit 3 pairs of socks this week as well as work full time! That's quick! Smile

Another finished pair. Linz you can see how much is left over in a Plushness skein from a pair of size 6 UK ladies sock. Knit on 2.75 DPNs.

Gil they are gorgeous...I have a confession to make, i've done mine on 2.5mm cos I 'thought I was using a 2.75mm but afterwards I remembered that my 2.75's were actually purple and not addis at all...yes, I feel dumber than a box of rocks but even more so for the mass panic Embarassed

as I will of course have a bit left...

Love the colours in yours mine have gone sort of stripey.

They will be lovely and firm Smile

But you should still have plenty. I could probably get a pair of Micro Monkeys out of that mini skein, but I know a blanket that is looking for some help Smile
