1st sock - Garter Stitch Rib in blue Opal Sugar Almond Magic
Pattern: Garter Rib from Sensational Knitted Socks
2.5mm addi turbos
The first sock fits really well after a little bit of adjustment. I followed the pattern only to find that my toes were a bit too snug, so tinked back & added an extra 3 rows in by increasing the two row decreases in the toe. This was done at Knitting Group on Friday - I wonder how many other people have taken their shoe & sock off in a cafe to try a newly completed hand knitted sock on? The staff didn't notice or if they did nobody complained
Once I had got the fit right I could do the Kitchener Stitch which wasn't easy in such a lively atmosphere!

I did once take my shoes and socks off (in fact Dr Marten boots and two pairs of socks!) on the train to try on the socks I was knitting! I got LOADS of funny looks for that!
I like yours, they work well in the Opal yarn.
I really like the colours of this Opal. (No that is NOT a hint for you to send me some ha ha!!) It looks so clean and crisp. Sugared almonds alright. :-)
