A pair of socks in 8 days?!
Roo, what has come over you?
Oh yes… the Waiting Room factor.
I won’t plague you with the details other than to say that FL’s planned bone marrow test did not go ahead today because they LOST HIS BLOOD SAMPLE.
I have no words.
It happened to another patient too. His wife was screaming and crying. I… knitted.
Back again tomorrow for another try.
Stats:
Pattern:
Fred and George Socks by Rachel Coopey
Yarn:
Yarn Yard Toddy, a 75 / 25 wool / nylon mix. I have only good things to say about this yarn base. Soft, squooshy, and hopefully hard-wearing. The green was a Small Skein Society club colour. The purple was my prize in the Coopknits Ravelry Group KAL for Willowherb.
I used 2.5mm dpns, except for the colourwork, where I used 2.75mm dpns to increase stretchiness, as my gauge is tighter in colourwork. I learned this lesson the hard way.
Verdict?
My most-favourite socks ever, in my sock-knitting history!
The colours are completely insane.
The mis-matching makes me happier than a sensible person would admit.
But who needs sensible when they can have hand-knitted socks?!
Woo hoo!
