Now for a matching pair…

Child’s First Sock is no longer mate-less. I finished the second sock last Saturday. This sock has really been an enjoyable knit and I love how the shell motif look. This pair took just 1 ball of the Grignasco Bambi yarn, with plenty left over. I probably could have added one or two more repeats if I wanted to. But I’m happy with the length as it is. They fit well too, except that the cuffs are a bit loose. That’s my fault, I should have casted on fewer stitches when I decided to make the socks shorter. Oh well, I still like them.

While I didn’t finish many socks in Socktoberfest, I did get inspired to knit more socks! Next up, I want to make myself a pair of the famous Pomatomus, in a semi-solid coloured yarn, I think. But that will have to wait until I have my gift knitting done. I just realised a few days ago, that I only have about half a month to finish the Jess cardi for my mum and hats for my nephews so that I can send them off in time for Christmas.
