I am really impressed! So gorgeous. I have never knitted socks, nor even really wanted to, but I recently started a class at my LYS on knitting 2 socks on 2 circular needles. It’s a really interesting technique. Had tangles of yarn, but the key is apparently to put the balls in a ziplock bag with a hole cut into each bottom corner to feed the yarn through. Then you just flip, flip, flip the bag as you turn your work. Frogged the whole thing before I even got to the heel, and as these had to be to a certain point by the next class, they are rather short. Spent part of Saturday, all of Sunday AND Monday getting them back to the heelflap. It was so exciting getting the heel turned! Can’t wait to finish them.

You’re my hero. I’ve loved that pattern for a long time too, but I think the it’s is out of my league.

Once more I am applauding your accomplishment. Just think you are already half way there. The mate is always easier than the first one. Great Job!

Intoxicating socks - and oh so sexy looking too. I have always loved this pattern, but unlike you do not have the courage to give them a go. Great job, especially with all the tweaking and mods you have made.

This post reminds me of myself; I tend to pick patterns while ignoring the fact that they may be over my head. But your improvisations worked great! Well done!

Well, would a calf length, pleated wool skirt do? Very lovely

I cannot tell you what pleasure reading your blog brings me. It’s a breath of poetry on a blustery gray day! I visit often and wish I lived down the road so that I could invite you over for tea. Having never been to the British Isles but only dreamed…it’s such a lovely dream.
