Knitters brought three FOs to this week's lunch: a pair of altered mittens and two baby hats. (Hmm, maybe that's 4 FOs?) No socks were completed, but there was plenty of sock knitting action.
FO #1
Ange took some unused Google mittens and converted them into useful, stylish fingerless mitts. Here's the before (not the same mittens, but they should be identical):

And after:

| Sexy, useful fingerless mitts |
Yes, those are Gmail icons just above the cuff. And no, we will not convert any more mittens. This was a one-time proof-of-concept project given to a coworker who really appreciated them. Come to one of our lunches if you want tips on modifying your own mittens...
FOs #2 & 3
Josie brought in some caps she finished for the twin grandsons of some friends. How cute! They match the school colors of the grandparents: red and gray for Ohio State, and blue and gold for Kent State.

| The bottom hat looks gray on my monitor... It should be deep blue. |
Sock knitters über alles
Sock knitting outnumbered all other projects two-to-one at this week's lunch. Don't the sock knitters look happy?

One sock knitter is missing from this photo.
