Oh I am so glad to have these off the needles, they have been festering on my Wip trolley for far too long. I orginally started them at the beginning of Advent hoping to do a coloured stripe of each sock everyday and hoping to get them completed by the end of December as I was knitting them concurrently.
This did go to plan for the first 15 days and I managed to keep up but then I don’t know what happened but they got put to one side (probably to work on the Advent Cowl I also had on the needles)
The pattern itself was great- easy to follow and quick to memorise. I obviously converted to toe up as usual and used my favourite turkish cast on, fish lips kiss heel and eleastic bind off.
The finished socks are lovely but I think the amount of changing yarns and the tangling of the yarn caused by my knitting one sock from the centre of the grey ball and one from the outside, is something I will definately not be doing again.
