The first two pairs are each 24 cm long and made with single strand worsted weight wool.
I started working on the Mittens for Akkol annual sock challenge early this year in order to get a head start since we tend to end up rushing to meet the deadline in the fall. I got the first two pairs made and then something wonderful happened. The Warm Woolies Ravelry group decided to do a sock knit-along campaign to help Mittens for Akkol. The campaign is designed to honor Warm Woolies and WW founder Kimberly Turnbow and their impressive efforts to clothe poor children around the world. The sad part of that is that Warm Woolies is closing their doors at the end of the year. But the Warm Woolies Ravelry group will continue to knit for needy people around the world, which is wonderful.
I wanted to take part in the sock knit-along to honor WW so I made the pair above. They are 18 cm long and made with Mondial Ninna Nanna Baby, a chunky weight superwash wool.
