Fairy Tale Socks... and Matching Mitts!

I *did* get my Fairy Tale Sock Club #2 Third Sock Kit in the mail on Thursday night. (I now have a Peacock of my Own. That's all I'm sayin'.) Rather than dive right into it, though, I decided that I'd finish my Second Sock Kit first. Since I was home sick most of Friday, by Friday evening, I was up to here:


and by Saturday afternoon, they were done!

I'm warning you RIGHT NOW that this is lots of photos of these things, because I love them so...!

Sunday, I got roughly halfway on the second one, but by the end of Monday (well, by the end of Leno), they were done.

Okay, now I'm just showing off.

This is far and away my favorite of the Fairy Tale Sock Club patterns thus far, but you could probably tell that...!
