sock knitting

 I have started the year off with a bit of sock knitting for family members. I have finished a pair for my youngest. I used Opal sock yarn in the colourway lollipop.





Over the years I have knitted many socks and for even though the majority have been for me I have knitted ones for others in the family. This was the first time I knitted a pair with negative ease. Usually I knit the socks to fit the foot size but this time I decided to knit a pair which were a little smaller than the foot so their fit would be nice and snug.  I must admit I was a little worried that they would end up too small  in the foot length, as there is nothing as uncomfortable as squashed up toes.
