I found the pair of socks I finished a month or two back 🙂 The yarn is a Patons yarn, with the heels and toes done in a Bendigo 5 ply. I have some more of the Patons; I like this colourway, and the texture of the yarn, so I’ll knit another pair, this time with purple heels and toes.

The blue lacy socks (from a couple of posts ago) are progressing, but I’m not 100% happy with the pattern and yarn combination. I’ve knitted the first sock past the heel, but when I tried it on it’s a bit tight around the leg. I think it will be okay, but if I’m going to continue I’l need to get another ball of yarn. If the wool shop is out of the yarn, I’ll take that as a sign, undo what I’ve done and maybe knit some mittens with that yarn instead. And of, course, buy some different yarn to knit the lacy socks with – something a little softer 🙂

This morning, I’ve finished the latest pair of socks for my Dad.

I bought the yarn at Lincraft in Brisbane, when I was there for a conference at the end of September. I met Mary-Helen, aka the Witty Knitter, at the conference, and since she was knitting during the sessions I started the socks and knitted with her.

I already had a pair of socks on the needles at home, so it took me a little while to finish this pair, as I had to finish the others, too. If I could find where I’d put that pair of socks, I’d photograph it too, but I tucked them away somewhere in case I wanted to give them as Xmas presents, and now I can’t find them. They won’t be too far away – I’ll just have to remember what filing ‘logic’ I used 😉

In the meantime, onward and upward – or is that downward? – with the next pair:
