I am knitting a pair for the February challenge but have kept it all secret so far as I'm making up my own pattern!
All I'll admit to is that they're for DH & both are being knitted on two circs at once.
Photos once I'm finished.......

Sounds interesting! I want to have a go at designing a sock sometime - not brave enough at the moment (and I'm such a slow knitter!) _________________ Sharon |

No more clues yet apart from the fact that DH has big feet
Noo - I'm keeping my two balls of yarn in separate bags with a Klippit from Lakeland across each bag. When knitting I move the clip to cover 95% of the opening so the yarn is allowed to run freely but doesn't escape. _________________ Cheers

I use a ziplock bag thing and close it up in a similar manner, with one string one side and the other coming out the other side and it's a dual purpose thing... when i sit with my feet up on the stool i tend to cross my ankles which is a BAD thing (poor circulation an all that) so i have the bag across my ankles which stops me when i turn the work i just flip the bag round and nothing gets tangled, tis magic  _________________

Ok Fi you've forced my hand. Yes I'm using Regia Country 6ply in Granite (the grey mix on the right):
and I intend to finish them by the end of the month!
