Rumours that my stash and needles were confiscated by the Ministry of Knitting Standards are untrue!

Because I've been knitting all along: I just haven't been posting anything.

So here are some pictures of current socks in progress and recently finished.

Bubble Wrap Socks! This is a design I improvised from seeing an existing pattern and realising the slip stitch pattern is the very common honeycomb. The original pattern didn't have the slip stitch extending onto the foot, and I just couldn't have that!

Bubble Wrap Socks, 2 Here's a photo of the top of the socks. The near-matchingness of them is total dumb luck, I promise!

JEANS Socks in orange I got this wool at Lidl! Can you believe that? It was £4 for 200g, and so I had to see how it knitted up. So far, it's great, and the colours are good, too. This is a terrific orange, nice and autumny.

Another view of the Bubble Wraps This time, you can see the reinforced heel and the admittedly unorthodox gusset I put in so I wouldn't have to think too much about the instep pattern. These socks fit really well, even though they were knit bog-standard top down from the cuffs. I did make the toes quite a bit wider than most sock designers will do.
