Well, they are finally finished. It's amazing how you think you've got ages to go - then, suddenly, you've reached the toe. I'm not happy with the toe grafting. Actually it's seriously bad but I think the only solution is for one of you expert toe grafters to sit over my shoulder next time I attempt a sock.
When S from TeamSAK comes home from 'up north' I'll pack these up and send them down to Melbourne. I hope they'll be comfy for padding around the house in during the depths of Winter there.

They are just the thing for our chilly Melbourne mornings and evenings.
You're a good friend to be doing socks for someone else.
Pretty colour too. As for the toe grafting, I am sure if the wearer sort won't notice when they are on!!
M- they look FABULOUS!!! I am thrilled to be the recipient of your first attempt at knitting socks.
Is now a good time to tell you all my dance partners say I have two left feet!
How good are you? They look unrool!!
Oh yay! S can stop practising her hopping now.
So, what's next? How's my fair isle scarf going?
Really so good - both you the friend and them the socks.
And oh my god another photo of that Toorak Driveway - so yummy looking!
You are very definitely a knitter!
Why thank y'all.
I've started my next project - a baby jumper (AmE: Sweater; BrE: Jersey) for my neighbour who is expecting in about 8 weeks.
I haven't knitted a garment that requires 'making up' and buttonholes for about 10 years so we'll see how it goes...
