Got my Prize-----Thank You

I got my prize from the Tour de France random drawing, Thank You. I wanted to see how Maizy would work in socks. I also picked out a solid color so that a pattern would stand out.

Fingerless Mittens

It was a pretty quick knit... this pair of Fingerless mittens. Have experimented with a pattern, but it disappeared into the colours of this yarn. Might do it again with a solid yarn, but for now I am content with how they turned out.

Yarn used: Maizy, in the colourway Retro. 1 ball was used.
