these have a picot beginning, are 66stitches on 2.75mm needles, so are a bit chunkier than usual. i also made the foot quite generous in length, they could do with being a centimetre or two shorter, but i like that they are roomy without being loose - i forgot the bigger needles would make the whole thing bigger as well. they will make excellent boot socks tho, esp with the picot edge.
and its a lovely cool day to be trying on woollen socks, with the very first hint of autumn in the air. the vine out the back has a couple of red leaves and the maples along the street are starting to thin... i even had to wear a cardigan out this morning. could the endless canberra summer finally be coming to an end?
and i have stopped dreaming of sheep finally.
