    About

    I promised my sister a pair of socks. She chose this yarn from a selection in my stash. I had a lot of trouble with it. First there was a yarn break just before the heel on sock 1 so i adjusted the leg length 2 rows shorter. then the pattern repeat after the heel did not repeat again in the ball. Found out after the heel of sock 2. So I ended up undoing the foot of sock 1 and re knitting. Not happy. I complained to Love Crochet who said they did not guarantee the pattern repeat in their Paintbox sock yarn, so I have sent the other 3 balls of it back as who wants to risk non-matching socks? Still the sister is happy with her socks and I'm resting from sock knitting for a few eeks to get over it!

      Well they look great Tracy and I love the turquoise colour you’ve used.

        Thanks. Apparently my sister only wears blue socks! I've got some new WYS blue yarn on order for her to have a second pair later in the year
