knittingFirstly: first post to the community, though I've been a member for a while. Hi!
Secondly, I finished knitting a pair of socks!
They're knitted in 8ply Ashford Tekapo, which a friend gave me; I think the colourway is Sweetpea. I'm sort of ridiculously proud of them, mainly because I figured out bits of the pattern myself (thoughstringherder invented the lace pattern and helped me with maths). The ankle is so short because I wasn't certain that they'd fit and I don't like knitting in rib very much. Now that I've figured out an ankle size that fits my wide size-10s, I'll make another pair with a longer leg.
I've written out the pattern and at some point - when a fancier ankle has been designed and tested - will probably make it available on Ravelry (I'm maudlinrose there). The whole process of making socks that fit me properly has turned out to be easier than I expected. \o/
