Look at you with your socks on 2 circ's. Perhaps you can give me some lessons...a trip to the pub maybe. Wink


Very Happy it's quite easy really - I don't like DPN's - I'm dangerous with them as I tend to have my knitting quite close to my face (rubbish eyesight) - I've almost poked an eye out a couple of times now! I find 2 circs much safer!! Be happy to give you a demo sometime!

I like that stitch pattern - funny I've never noticed it in SKS, must be that you have chosen a nicer colourway!!!! Wink

The pattern and yarn really look good together. Very Happy I think the pattern is the Basket Weave Rib pattern from SKS (I knitted this pattern a few weeks ago) and I recognised the yarn colour too as I'd been admiring CJ's socks which were knitted in the same colour... Embarassed

Well, it's coming along ok - I started the heel flap last night - I'm about 2/3 of the way through that now. Going to spend the rest of the day in front of the fire knitting Very Happy

I'm getting on well with the sock. Turned the heel yesterday and started the gusset decreases. I really like how the gusset has worked out - it's the neatest picking up of stitches I think I've done on a sock yet. I think the edging on this one helps. I was worried at first as the pattern doesn't get you to slip stitches at the edge (which I thought made it nice and easy to pick up stitches later) and I was concerned how it would turn out. So - I've learnt something new Very Happy
