Autumnus

I knit these using an Opal yarn, one on a hank. Sorry can't recall what it was and one of the dogs ate the label.

I knit them both together on a 2mm HiyaHiya circular needle. At least I did until well into the leg and I got fed up and did them singly after that.

To be fair, whilst I think it took longer to do, I was knitting other things too and also using garter stitch blocks and I always find garter stitch to be slower as it it not so easy to get the needle tip in the stitch and I have to look whereas I do not have to look when doing K and P.

I used a variation of my Andersson Heel.

love the colours and the socks Colin, you have done marvellously with them as usual.

Sort of remind me of that song ''Tiger Feet'' LOL

I dunno - what sort of excuse is 'the dog ate the label?'

Lovely socks...

So very gorgeous! I love autumn colors and always find myself leaning that way when petting yarn.

Once again, they're beautiful, and once again, what an aptly chosen name for them.

Also, congratulations on your dogs for being chosen as hearing dogs for the deaf.
