Fabulous Friday Foot

Check it out, boyfriend has a sock!



*grins*

He seems to be pretty pleased with his sock, and is waiting impatiently for the second one to materialise. Because of the way it is knitted (ribbed leg and top of foot), he can wear it either regularly or inside out to have the princess sole. Having thoroughly tested the fit and comfort, he has decided that the princess sole is preferable *smiles* I figured that might be the case, so I'm really pleased that was the approach I went for.

So, second sock has been started (same pic as Wednesday, because it isn't actually any longer yet!)



This will be my in-car knitting in a few hours time, so hopefully lots of progress will be made. I had to start it before travelling, there's no way I would have managed the really fiddly toe part in the car!

More details about yarn and pattern when I actually have a finished pair (I know a single sock only just counts as an FO - but it is an object and it is finished, so I'm going with it!)

As ever, you know the Friday drill... head over to Tami's, Natural SuburbiaPlumslife and Wisdom Begins in Wonder for more crafty and fibery loveliness. Well, I won't be around too much today, but will try and catch up on as many Friday posts as I can!

  1. Great sock(s)!
    I am going to have to try knitting socks soon. Nothing beats a pair of hand knitted socks inside welly boots. My children deserve warm feet!

  3. Oh my, that is so clever! I have been trying to knit a pair of socks but am stumped at the heel gusset. Not being a knitter might be why!! I am taking it to my mum when we visit next and she assures me it's easy although I might just stop at the one and use it for a Christmas sock!
