Gentleman’s Plain Winter Socks are finished. Compared to my other purple socks it doesn’t look very purple but the Malagribo Candombe reads as a dusky plum on its own. I did read a description of navy and brown but I scoffed. Anyway it is done. The other socks are made from the much thicker and fuzzier Bearfoot sock yarn and need a good de-fuzzing. It just so happened that I had purple socks needing a wash when I finished up my latest pair. Actually all my socks need washing but I have plenty of purple ones. All are here except for a singleton that has lost its mate. Poor mismatched sock.

Anyway extra time was taken finishing the socks because I noticed that the heel flap was curving under my heel. I decided this whilst getting to the toe on the second sock so knit a few more rounds on second, undid the toe on first and added the extra rows.

Of my little yarn cache to work through I have now stuck with one of the 3 yarn piles. Huzzah. Not to break my stride but…. Tyler has asked me for a winter hat to replace one I knit many moons ago for him. Of course I took no real notes. But a hat cannot possibly take too long.

Sock update complete. Yarny days and knitterly evenings~ Elka
