After knitting virtually no socks for a year I have cast on for THREE pairs this month Rolling Eyes

I really do need some so here's hoping I get at least one pair done before the end of the month Wink

Posh Helena in 'Rested'

Posh Lucia in 'Weekend in Vermont'

Posh Emily in 'Stormy Sea'

what size needles do you use with them Pictish? I love the bendy one, so much more comfy to use like that aren't they Wink

Franney - the Emily and Helena are 56 st on 2.75mm - just got to figure out how to do the heel flap Wink

I think I just desperately need some new handmade socks FC Laughing

They are all lovely. I would do the heelflap on 28 stitches. Lucy Neatby says it should always be a square so I would just keep checking.

It's nice when it knits up as you want it to Joy Laughing

This is the 4th attempt on different needles/different number of stitches for the Lucia Rolling Eyes

I have a thing about pooling Evil or Very Mad
