Yeap, not just forty anymore but in my forties. Above some pressies.
Was surprised that the online sock wool wasn't that soft, the Spotlight Moda Vera is softer. And on that subject, here at last completed wave rib socks, quite happy with the final result like how the yarn has knitted up. And I think I have enough left for some fingerless mitts, or maybe socks for a little person. So thinking this yarn is good value.Will have to see & compare how they wear.
.The Online Cotton/Wool sock yarn feels very nice though, and different to what I expected from the picture , did not expect to have so much white, will be interesting to see how it knits up.
And my first top suffering from odd sock syndrome, not from me not having knitted a partner , but me losing the other, I know 2 came in from the line, but when I went to put them away there was only 1. Sure it will turn up somewhere. I don't like the heel, prefer a gusset heel so will have to learn that top up. Possibly the yukky acrylic doesn't help, but seems to side easier off the foot. But they pass as house socks.
Supposing now I should put some more time into finishing the rock crevice rug.Will have to start on a simple sock though, as need something for my breaks at work to work on.
And looking out my back door, why is nice to have a nice sunny winter's day off, all sheltered from the wind that's supposed to be happening here today in Sydney.

I love pattern socks they are so much more fun sometimes...really though! You do not have to think as much with them. I think that your socks look super cute!!!!
Great socks!!I also thought Online would be softer, gifted a pair of 6 ply socks to a friend who loved them anyway,still tomake mine!I would love to try Spotlights Moda Vera Sock wool,the nearest is Perth(Midland) but can never convince Hubby to drop in when we do go down to the big lights!!Must give them a call!!!!
