I forgot to take photos of the socks and the stitching I completed in February, better late than never eh.
The socks have been sitting on the blockers since I finished them but I've put them on tonight as it's gone a bit nippy.
These were always going to be house socks, I wanted them slouchy, I think I ticked that box.
I think the yarn is a Paint Box one, I lost the ball band so not certain.
Whenever I see people knitting socks they always seem to knit 64 or 68 stitches, these are 72 stitches on 2.5mm needle. Now, either I have a very large foot, although I don't think shoe size 7 Is that big, or I knit very tight, but I wouldn't say these were particularly big on me. If you are a sock knitter what would you cast on for size 7 shoe? and what size needle do you use?
My stitching finish was a Lizzie Kate, chart, Dear Santa We've got Cookies.
A fairly quick stitch, although I'm not sure how to finish it now it's done.
I've had a pottering around day today, I sorted and tidied the cupboard where I keep all my threads, fabric and other bits and bobs. Some stuff ended up in the charity bag and a few things put on one side to list on ebay. I should have taken a before photo, I didn't think but trust me, it looks way better than it did.
