Coming along nicely! The yarn is really super soft & the pattern is, as it says on the tin, soothing to knit. Nearly finished the first sock - will take a picture when they are finished as the lace pattern looks better stretched.
We had our first 'Sunday Roast' since the 15th January when the Rayburn went on the blink! Its still not 100% fixed -needs a part, but as long as you catch it tripping off, its usable. The washer packed up yesterday & I had to go to the launderette. Put these words in the correct order ... pours, rain, it, never, but, it ......!!!!!! and a few expletives!!!!!! Son & heir had never visited such a place in his 17 years (good Uni training I suppose!) but helped out -mainly running backwards & forwards to the nearby petrol station for MORE change. Its certainly not a cheap 'do'! Hopefully the engineer can be summoned tomorrow. At least its under warranty!
On a broader 'blogging front' - my 'teaching blogs' are going great guns & earning mentions in the tightly knit virtual circle of geography teachers that lurk on the net. Two of my sixth form students have set up blogs for students/teachers in their other subjects too. All started by me beginning to lurk in and out of knitting blogs last summer...... makes you think! The power of the knitting/ crafting world......!!!!

Its always the way isn't it with mechanical gizmo breakdowns, they always come in pairs, at least .........
Oh I am posting this late and I have answered some of this post in the one below, duh, time for bed methinks !!!
lol and more power to us old knittee bloggers! It's amazing how small the world becomes in cyber space, isn't it?? Looking forward to seeing pics of your latest socks (and the pics from the Alps are fantastic!)
Re your question about the pattern , did you mean the lace one ? If so then its out of the book Victorian Lace Today
They are waving lace socks by Evelyn Clarke. All of the patterns have previously appeared in Interweave Knits & other Interweave publications -does that include Victorian Lace Today?
