A single sock...

Here is my first sock for Adam:

I’m really proud of it – it’s my best sock yet – it fits! I love the yarn (Angel Yarns Chocolate Plum sock yarn – yummy deep purple with brown heathery bits in it – and hey – any yarn with Chocolate in the name must be good… ), I love the rib pattern – and yes, it is the same as Thuja – in fact ithe sock is almost exactly the same, except that using sock yarn and 2.5mm dpns I used 48 stitches instead of 44. It was a lovely quick knit though – and I’ve cast on for the second one already (despite Adam insisting that he wants to wear odd socks – I’m trying to avoid SSS by casting on before I’ve noticed that I’ve finished one – I’m hoping that I’ll be slow on the uptake – don’t let me read this blog, will you?)

Oooh – I was interrupted by the arrival of pig. £300+-worth of delicious pork from Heron Farm – i.e. a whole pig, plus extra belly (and yes Liz, we’ve got bacon too ) waiting to be split between 4 families. I’d better go and help…

one comment:

Kid socks are just the best! Don’t let their feet grow too fast, especially, you know, 2 sizes between measuring for the first foot and finishing the second!
A pig? Go read http://jpostonday.typepad.com/ where they’ve been trying to make their own bacon.
Ciao.
