But not both the same, I couldn't resist either of them! Very Happy


The first one is Elfine using Bright Dyes Sock club yarn whilst the second is Bright Dyes BFL/Alpaca in a gorgeous orangey summer marigold shade. The cuff is knitted using UK Alpacas sock yarn and the pattern is Noughts n Crosses from this month's Sockamania. I bought the yarn whilst meeting Anni at Chrissy's stand at Fibrefest which means these socks will always be a reminder of a lovely day out.
Since taking this photo, I've ripped the heel out of Elfine as I didn't like the original. Looks like it's heel flaps all the way for me then Wink

The elfines look lovely, but bring me out in a cold sweat when I think of mine (I still don't really like them to this day).

It's lovely to see the autumnal colours

they are looking great, and the OXO socks are the perfect colour combination, great choice of colours. I am going to give magic loop a go after your demonstration aswell
