One finish, one start and one WIP

I finished the blue/green pair of socks and have gifted them to my Mom.  She says that hand knit socks mean warmth :-)  I'm trying to finish up socks that are "in progress"  from the last year so I also worked on the brown socks using the Zora pattern using Lang Jawoll yarn.  I had knit the leg of the sock and was ready to start the heel when I put the sock down last January and now I'm almost ready to start the toe part.  My photo doesn't show the pattern very well, will take a better one next week. 

For some reason I also decided I needed to start a new project, mittens.  The pattern is Spruce Tree mittens and the yarn is Plymouth Galway yarn, color Fired Brick Heather.  I did promise these mittens to DD3 and cooler weather is coming so time to knit!
