Mittens for Akkol Package Sent

I survived Mr. T's entry into teenage years. His party was a success.

I even managed to send my package to Mittens for Akkol. The goal was to give every child in the orphanage a pair of hand knit wool socks for Christmas. We did it!

I'm having photography issues, so please excuse the poor quality of the following photos.

My contribution included 5 pairs of socks:

The big blue socks previously shown.

The socks are toe-up with an afterthought heel out of Cascade 220. I started not to finish these since the stripes were not showing up good, but Niece A who has to be the pickiest person in the world about clothes said that she liked them. She said "In fact, I would wear them myself."















The following socks were all knit toe-up Queen Kahuna style with gussets and heel-flap and with a Wisconsin Winter Socks influence. The all are made out of Cascade 220 and a sock yarn on size 8 needles -- they knit up really fast.













































My package also included three hats:

The green and white hat that I did while testing the pattern for Kimberly, the Knitting Wonder Woman.

This hat was knit by my blogless mother (Bebe). The yarn is pink. I know it does not look pink. I really need to take a photography class or get organized enough to take photos in the daytime. Wait, that would mean that I would have to be home in the daytime.



















Another hat using the Team Spirit Beanie pattern. The yarn is Cascade 220.























Joke from Mr. T:

What did one math book say to the other?

Answer: Boy do I have problems.
