Bicycle socks

Well, last week I didn't manage to post anything at all.  On the plus side all meals at camp went out on time and were well received.

This week I managed to finish a pair of socks for my No1 Son-in-law.  I started them some years ago, but the initial concept became redundant when he was made redundant from his job.  It has taken me a long time to decide what to do instead, but he has recently taken up cycling so the replacement idea was born.


Mind you, next time I think Swiss Darning is a good idea tie my hands behind my back and take away my darning needle!  I originally did the bikes in colourwork but the floats wouldn't give enough to stretch round the heel when putting the sock on, so Swiss darning it was. Did I mention I hate Swiss darning?

And for the record the colourwork motif before it was frogged.
Hopefully the next pair will break the cycle of frogging socks.
