Another Pair


Since these socks are the same as the pair I knitted recently, I had memorised the pattern, so they were good for 'hospital knitting'. I'm a bit of a fidget fingers, didn't want to sit doing nothing while waiting for Jack's test results or visiting him in hospital. I did have my tatting with me, but Skipping ropes takes more concentration than I had to hand, the socks were easier.  I thought the toes on the previous pair looked a bit skimpy, so I knitted several rounds with the contrast yarn before I started decreasing. I didn't have my tapestry needle with me, so I cast off the toes using a 3-needle cast off:
I think they turned out pretty well considering they're made with three different oddments of yarn.
