Mum's socks, progress report

This is one evening and one morning's work on Mum's socks. I love how the colours are striping like that! The white fuzzy streak is the knitting-in elastic. This wool incorporates it much better than the Patonyle, and you can barely see it. I think that if you didn't know it was there, you wouldn't notice.

I should be able to get to the leg shaping this evening. I have no plans other than watching telly and knitting, as I am brewing a cold and don't feel like doing anything else. Besides, Thursday night is my favourite night for TV :)

I'm also having a 3-day weekend. I need to do a heap of housework, but I plan to at least finish sewing up the peaches and cream jumper, and keep working on these socks.

Fun times!

I just love those stripey socks!!!! And I just love the blog - when i get a better connection i will tell you my knitting things. You are forgiven the dropped stitches - especially as you were honest enough to tell us all. Have done a bright jumper and hat for Alex - hope it fits as he is growing so fast.
