I finished them! The pattern I used was from the book 'One Skein' by Leigh Radford and these are the 'cable footies'. I really enjoyed doing the shaping on the heels and toes. I also used the long circular kneedle method rather than using four needles because I knit loosely and I just know I would have had slipping kneedles and wouldn't have finished them! Hurrah...now Barry hold out your arms...yes, like than, no not like that, silly....right, now I can wind my beautiful skeins of yarns into delicious fat balls to make into my next pair of socks. Watch this space!!

They're beautiful! I really must get that book. Did you do Magic loop with the needle? I've got a booklet to show me how but have never sat down to do it.
Lovely pink socks! My feet are quite envious.
Sounds to me, darling, you need a swift....unless Barry really enjoys holding the skeins while you wind...
he does marianne...but I need a swift what? ;^) I also have a wool winding machine...I got a second hand one after my lovely daughter (see above) borrowed mine!
I couldnt knit or sew to save my life, not even a button on a shirt! Lovely pic and the socks look really nice and warm :o)
