but this time it's for me.
This is a kit from a few years ago, and I had high hopes of finishing them in time for Christmas - but of course I didn't. Finding them again I realised that they might be a little too tight, and I frogged them on Sunday evening.
This is the result of the last three evenings! (Mind you, I was out last night and only knitted about 10 rows).
The pattern is Red Bird Knits Reindeer Games. Despite it looking otherwise, I can assure you that the white squares are all the same length! I snapped the photo in a hurry, didn't bother trying to lay it out evenly!
I rarely knit stranded socks, purely because I need to get more stretch into the leg to fit over my instep. This time I'm knitting with 2.5mm needles and trying to loosen up a bit. I am determined to wear these on Christmas day! I'm hoping to finish the foot by Sunday, and the second sock for Chris (which I've barely started!)
Oh, another thing - Happy Birthday Chris! We shall go out for a meal tonight but do the usual birthday treat - cinema and meal with lots of alcohol 0 over the weekend. He's getting the scarf and socks this afternoon!
they will bright and cheerful!!!! felicitations to Chris, and many more
