With all the meetings this week, my sock production is off the charts. I’ve already finished one pair for myself, and started on another pair for Adrian.

This is the first time I use this kind of patterned sock yarn. It’s a really clever idea: the first half of the ball of yarn has exactly the same pattern or colour gradation as the second one, and there is a short marker section in between in a totally different colour. This way you can very easily get two identical, fun socks from one ball. I like it.

This pair I haven’t even properly finished yet – I still have the ends to weave in – but I wore them anyway because today’s outfit, with a green skirt and dark green tights, called for green socks.
