Hot off the needles

This is the yarn. Scrummy colours?
I bought this lovely sock yarn at Jeans Wool Shop on the Creagh Road in Belfast. Its from Opal and the colour is called Fischer.
These are the finished socks. I finished them on Friday night. I think I will give them to Lou, she loves the hand knitted socks that DM made for her.

This is a close up of them. I don't know what it is about using fine yarn and fine needles, but I really enjoy it and my tension always looks lovely and even.
This is the toe. The pattern I was using had a very strange way of finishing the toe which, I didn't like so I used the pattern that DM uses for finishing these toes.

I have quite a few more Taa Dah moments to show, so I will be back soon. Lor xx
