When making thick comfy socks out of a colourway called Swamp then naturally your friends will refer to them as Swocks!
I wanted to make some thick warm socks for The Englishman, choosing a colourway during the annual Black Friday sales from Hedgehog fibres the yarn was waiting for us when we arrived in England.
Originally I cast on a size large but they were huuuge! way too big, so I re cast on in a size Medium and that worked out much better. Unlike my own tiny feet making socks for The Englishman uses a whole skein of thicker ply yarn.
I genuinely enjoy knitting rib so it was a lovely time sitting in front of the fire making my way through the socks. Using only a single colour meant they were very calm and easy to knit., Highly recomended for a fireside easy knit! Also quite fun to be able to knit a pair of socks while in England, 2 years since I had learnt to make a very wobbly cast on and attempt to make some stitches. Testament to practice and dedication!
