Thanks to everyone for the get well soon wishes. We’re all a lot better now. 
Just a quick post to say that I have started work on a smaller, woman’s size, version of my Hareton sock pattern.
After swatching a couple of times, I realised it would be easier to modify the stitch pattern, rather than trying to use the same one as the larger version. It’s simple enough to do and will be a much quicker knit than the originals. Unfortunately, they won’t be done within the next couple of weeks because of other knitting taking priority. But they’re on their way!
ETA: Because I am a numpty and forgot to mention the yarn! It’s Rowan 4ply Soft in Tea Rose.

Yes, that’s very pretty yarn and very pretty sock! I would like to know what the mystery yarn is, too.

Thank you, Kate, for working on a smaller size of your lovely Hareton sock pattern. I have the pattern in my sock binder and I look at it frequently with longing but the original version is too big for me (and my husband) - one of the downsides of being very short people! I guess the upside is the fact that shorter people tend to have smaller, shorter feet so require less sock yarn!
Love your patterns and your blog. And I always admire how well you combine yarn type and color with the patterns you knit.
I look forward to having Hareton socks!

Thanks for adding the name of the yarn; I can see some of that falling into a basket for me before long…
