Socks?  Boring?  I'm reading the words but I'm not understanding  Confused  Laughing   Never!  

Those are cool socks!  Both pairs are fab.  How did you find the Vinnland pattern?  I've been wanting to make them but keep putting them off because they look tricky  Embarassed

Thanks.   Very Happy   Don't be put off by the Vinnland pattern - they may look difficult but they're really easy.  I made the first one in about 3 days on holiday.  The second one took twice that long (after the holiday) but real life got in the way.  Rolling Eyes   All you're doing basically is increasing (M1) and decreasing (ssk/k2tog).  

I'm definitely going to be knitting myself a pair of these, and soon.  Very Happy
