I managed to finish off the last sock of the pair I had been making en route to the airport to USA and at knit night whilst I was there just in the nick of time for the end of Socktober. Tamyra is very pleased with the result. I do fear that the bad influence [...]
My spell check amused me but this post is really a Socktober post. I did manage to make one pair of socks whilst I was on my travels. I knit the first one on the plane over to the USA and did a lot of the second on my way to South Dakota and then [...]
… Socktober! 3×1 rib in gorgeous Shi Bui! The Shi Bui was sent by Deb and Guinifer a while ago and it is super to knit with. It has been quite a while since I got to knit socks so it has been rather lovely think of socks to knit for this special month. I [...]

So measurements were taken and tools assembled. ready to take on the first attempt at toe up socks. Tentative steps led quickly onto a full set of [...]
Here are those fateful Fleece Artist socks – all finished. They are rather beautiful – doesn’t pao have great taste?
