Started knitting these on long coach journeys around Sicily, we stayed in four different hotels around the Island. Didn’t get too far, was knitting heal flap in the plane on return journey.

No one else in the 39 strong group was a knitter, hardly any comments when I knitted and no comments on my Forest Canopy Shawl when worn in a couple of evenings.

First sock finished 20th July, started second one straight away! Second sock seemed more difficult, only completed after third attempt.

Finished, washed in Ecover gentle stuff, lots of blue dye came out. Socks now in Dorset, daughter plans to wear them when sailing.
