Socks, that is!!! Now I'm at the stage (well, 1½" to go) when I'll soon need to start putting on stitches for the calf of the second one (lower picture). Liz wants them knee length which is fine by me but takes a tad longer and also needs to be 'moulded' round the calf.
I did the first one as you'll see and that's fits fine and I'm really chuffed with it. Thankfully for the second calf all I have to do is follow my notes - IF I can understand them, that is!!!
This is the joy of knitting from toe to cuff - you can try them on and see EXACTLY where these little foibles have to be addressed. All I did is say 'hello calf' and it was a case of 'job done'. Well, not really - i did need a tape measure to help me!!!
I'm going to make her another pair and I know exactly which yarn she wants but have resisted buying it until the 'end is nigh'!!!

Looks great! :)
Love the stripes. Bless your cotton socks!
WOW!!!
Great looking socks! I always do toe up for just that reason.
That's a fun pair of socks! I'm almost itching to make some too, but I'm back at just scarf level.
