During the summer it is good to have small projects on the go, so socks are perfect.
These were made for my biker friends to keep their tootsies warm.
I did ring to ask about shoe sizes, which was a little weird until I explained why, glad I did as Greg is a 9 and Mark an 11. It would have been heart breaking to make them too small.
They took me many weeks as I am not a fast knitter.
I was very diligent this time to take note of the colour I started on and start the second one at approximately the same place to keep the stripes even.
The third pair I made for myself as my friend Liz had given me a beautiful skein of beautifully soft wool for my birthday.
It is more of an artisan wool so the stripes are not so predictable. It is lovely to knit with, a real treat.
They are super cosy.
The socks are awesome, I am taking mine to Val Thorens for Apres Ski
