I finally knitted the socks I've been meaning to, using the rich red Alafoss Lopi bought in Iceland last summer. Thick, extra-warm long socks with reinforced heels and toes, designed to be worn inside wellies. The pattern was a mix of ideas from the knitting gurus Elizabeth Zimmerman and Ann Budd, with a suggestion from Caroline's mum, Maureen for the decreases on the legs. They were knitted partly in Edinburgh, partly in Torridon, and partly in Kathryn's car driving across Scotland at Easter. And tested out down at the allotment last Saturday. Very happy with them!
