Notes

A mixture of Shetland wool.
In these I’m showing how a Fair Isle pattern can be used in a pair of socks.
A friend and former colleague, Sheila and I had a FI Beginner class over Shetland Wool Week where we gave out a pattern and supported participants with how to knit a headband. We had a great group and had fun. I started these last week and am working carefully down towards the toes now.
Eye of the partridge heel.

On toe now and will complete tonight. Made generously long as they’ll be a cosy layering sock for home mostly I’m thinking.

Casting on second this early morning, it’s quite a wet and windy day here, no walking outside!

I’m on the heel of the second sock and strangely it is knitting up quickly! grin

I need to check the yellow used as my pop of colour! It’s either Jamieson and Smith or Jamieson’s of Shetland = I’ll find out soon!
