Candy Print Socks

September 29, 2018

Goodness, it’s nearly October!!!  We survived that summer holidays alive.   It wasn’t elegant, but we made it.  The last 3 weeks have been dominated by a renegade molar and regular dentist visits, but I’m hopefully the right side of it now.  I’m also hoping that October can be a little more relaxed than the past few months.

Autumn has arrived here in Lancashire, and we are being blessed with chill mornings followed by warm, sunny days filled with that glorious golden light you get at this time of year.

Basically, I couldn’t be happier with the weather.  It’s my favourite time of year.

And to herald the new season, new socks for Dave are in order.  So here they are.

I’ll admit that whilst I was knitting them, I wasn’t enthused by the colourway.  But now they’re finished I’m finding them delightful.

I’m particularly fond of the magenta pink stripe.  And the green.

And, of course, they’re perfectly matched!  Joy!

I have a very happy husband.  And a small girl demanding the next pair of socks to be put on the needles is hers.  Pink socks it is, then!

    Yet more beautiful socks – I still have the same pair from last Spring on the needles just waiting for me to shape the heel. I must get back to them as everybody else seems to be able to turn out multiple pairs of socks every week or so.

      The turn in the weather will be incentive. These took me ages. I have a friend that can knit a pair in a couple of day. I just don’t tell Dave! 😉

    You are the Queen of sock knitting, they’re fab! Glad your tooth is on the mend, horrible pain to suffer from.

      Dave was “complaining” (with tongue in cheek, I hasten to add) that these had taken so long to complete as I’m also knitting a sweater for myself. No pleasing some folk! 😉
