It is a tad inconvenient, I have suggested I knit at work but it didn't go down to well, the dpns would be great for naughty children.

I managed to finish off sock one last week sometime (did I tell you that? I can't remember??)
Now I have a dilemma - do I knit Matt's second sock to be an identical twin of the first with matching stripes and possibly not get a pair of sockies out for Danny as well, or do I knit a fraternal twin knowing that I will deffo get a pair of socks for Danny out of the ball if I do??
Oh dear, oh dear

Beautiful sock colour, and if I may put my two cents in, I personnaly love socks that don't match. You could also match the socks and use what is left as an accent colour on the second pair of socks, with another sock yarn leftover.

Hooray! I've just started my second sock as most people are finishing their January pair  trust me to be catching up with everyone!
I decided that as I could definitely get two pairs of children's socks out of the 100g ball that I wouldn't waste any yarn in trying to exactly match the first sock of Matt's pair, mainly because I'd just gone past the place in the pattern repeat knitting the toe of the first sock, and it meant that I'd have to unwind almost a whole repeat to get the socks to match.
At this rate I might get a pair of tiddly baby socks out of the ball as well as Dan's socks!
What about prize for the most pairs of socks out of a 100g ball??  Bawahahahahahahahaaaaa!

Just finished my gusset decreases on my second sock last night so there's absolutely no way I'll be finished for midnight tonight
