I have tried to take reasonable pictures of work in progress but had some help from Baby my little birman cat. Her baleful expression shows the lack of attention she was receiving while I took the pictures. Bear in mind she also lacked 3 days attention while I was away and is therefore officially deprived. She wants you all to know this so please take note.
Anyway, I show you the slip stitch and short row heel, the gusset, the almost completed foot and the slightly longer than normal leg length. I have enjoyed knitting these and the customised fit is perfect for me. For once, I followed the instructions to the letter and took the proper ankle measurements. The result is that I cast on for a 72 stitch sock rather than the usual 64 stitch sock which seems to be the most common size. I will definitely use this sizing again for my own socks.
My new needles are working smoothly and gaining a lovely patina as I knit so, all- in -all, a pleasant experience.
