I had such fun knitting these amazing socks. It might just have been possible to get both socks out of one ball of yarn, but I didn’t take the risk. The good news is that there’s plenty left over to knit some gloves …
My first time knitting from the toe up and using the figure-of-8 cast on, but I think I’m converted. The pattern was easy to follow but you do need to follow two charts simultaneously for a while, so concentration is needed.
