Notes

Bought the book years ago and made other socks from the book already but not these and at last have sock yarns that will make them! Cast on whilst waiting for procedure in local hospital which was a good use of my time! The top down socks start with a little fancy lace top.

Turned the heel and now knitting stripes down to toe. I’ll save this easy bit for knitting in North Roe tomorrow night.
Cast on a pair of Fair Isle gloves tonight for I’ve lots blue cuffs my Dad made me in summer 2024 on da knitting machine to knit up.

Completed the first. I grafted the 8 loops left instead of pattern instructions to simply thread through yarn and pull together.
