I need more socks. I have made one pair and I am wearing them to death. This is my first Lombard Street Sock. The pattern is a joy to knit and perfect to follow. I cast on for Jaywalkers to start with but alas, the pattern in the yarn was not strong enough to do the socks justice. (Is this an excuse to buy more yarn?) The foot in the picture belongs to my 12 year old daughter, I asked her to model my sock thinking it would be too big...guess what - it fitted! No 2 is well on its way (no second sock syndrome here).However, altho' I am desperate to finish them, I couldn't resist casting on with these! I bought them at the Brighton Stitch Show last weekend from a lady called Rachel Johns who makes the most beautiful rugs and throws. She crafts all the needles herself and I knew I would regret it if I didn't buy a pair. My children think its great fun and keep pestering for a go! My 9 year old son has used his hand to give a sense of size. I'm using some acrylic that has been in my basket forever, three balls grey, one ball black to knit a rectangle which I will wear sideways as a wrap!
