I am in love with this yarn. It’s been sat in my stash for almost a year and it’s shameful that I didn’t use it before. Yes, the stretchiness takes a moment to get used to, but once you have, it knits like a dream - and knits up fast!

And of course the pattern is lovely. Like a stretchy Jaywalker! The socks are so comfy and I don’t know what to do. I had considered giving them to my sister, but I do love them so much. I suppose it depends how selfish I am feeling. And whether she has now actually worn the ones I knit her for Christmas…

I have another pair of socks (!) OTN already, but will cover those in another post as they have a bit of a story to them. And to avoid becoming a sock bore, I am also going to cast on something that isn’t a sock. Don’t faint, anyone. Honestly, if you’ve seen my sock yarn stash, you will know that I could easily knit a pair of socks a fortnight for the rest of the year before I saw the bottom of the basket. Knitting lots and lots of socks is a good thing!

On a final sock-related note, I now have my Sockapalooza pal’s details. It’s very exciting, and I think I can have a lot of fun with their socks from the information they’ve given me. At the moment, though, I’m just doing a bit of research into patterns and yarns and will report back on those soon. Yes, it means buying more sock yarn. Oh dear…
