The first sock is done! I had a mild panic earlier in the week that I would run out of yarn, so I bought a skein of the same yarn in a solid colourway to make contrasting heels and toes and I think it’s worked beautifully. I love the ribbed pattern, with the cross stitches. And sock number two will have them going in the other direction which adds a bit more excitement than knitting the same sock all over again. :-D

  1. That is coming out wonderfully. Do you have a leg form in the sock? (And if so, where did you get one? It really shows the sock off well)

    Love it! I’ll have to try out that pattern. Do you think it could look good with striping yarn?

    Those are some fierce looking socks. Well done! I love the colour choice, and the pattern. And the very artful photography. I need to get myself some disembodied legs (and a tree) so I can take such nice pictures! ;-)
