Firstly, apologies for leaving it so long
to get round to posting. I promise to do another entry very soon about some of
the natural dyeing fun that I got up to a while ago but for now let’s talk
socks; specifically these Fair Isle babies that I finished over the summer
for my mum’s birthday.
I adapted a pattern that I’d used for some
socks that I had made for myself last year sometime. Luckily, mum and I share
the same oversized feet (which means it’s all her fault that I struggle to buy
shoes) so I didn’t have to worry about getting the length wrong and I could
keep it a surprise. I made up the fair isle pattern as I went along, with
inspiration from this book. I used Rowan’s Fine Tweed yarn. I completely love the colours, perfect for
autumn.
Mum was very happy with them and didn’t
seem to mind that they were about a month late!
