Here's a progress photo of my Pomatomus socks. I've had a few problems whilst knitting them. Evil or Very Mad The first was when my Brittany Birch dpns snapped in half and I didn't have anymore 2.75mm dpns to use so had to order more. Rolling Eyes I then had a problem with one row of the toe shaping. I messed up but hopefully it's not too noticeable. Embarassed



I'm itching to get these finished so I can start some more socks. There are so many fab socks being knitted and lots of patterns I want to try....

Hi CJ, Apart from the one line of toe shaping that I couldn't understand the rest of the pattern is relatively easy. I'm just a slow knitter so all those knitting tbl takes me ages. Confused

Hawkesley they are lovely! Gorgeous yarn (how did I miss that?!) and love the pattern. These are on my to do list, but I'm gonna do the Sweet Georgia smaller version (not as long on the cuff) Smile

They seemed to take ages to knit the pair but I'm glad they are now finished.
