Socks!!
Re: Socks!!What lovely socks and great colours - in no way detrimental, but it's kind of 50's / 60's jumper, love it.

Re: Socks!! Brilliant Helen. Haven't started mine yet as I'm finishing other bits that I've started first.
Will have a good look at sockalong soon. I am now a widow and live with my memories.
Re: Socks!!Thank you I expect the second sock to be a different size, shape and be full of holes . I am not good at making 2 of anything as I generally wing it the first time!

They are not without fault, but must say that I am rather proud of them. Also they are so comfy and warm, and give me much pleasure when I wear them Helen xx

No girls at the moment but look forward to getting more in the future. Proud mummy to Hector, a Bedlington Terrier x Jack Russell
Re: Socks!!Now I'm confused. Looking at the picture I thought the wool changed colour (I think I've used variegated embroidery silk in long ago childhood). But the stripes match on the pairs of sock. How does that work?

Actually, what it really involves is me getting my lovely new ball of wool and pulling the centre out and searching through the yarn, looking for a repeat pattern. This doesn't take too long, but it's the other hour or so trying to untangle the chaos and rewind into two balls that is a bit irksome!! Mind you, worth it I think! Helen xx

How does it really work? I love the swirly jam & custard in the yellow socks. Dance caller. http://mo-dance-caller.blogspot.co.uk/p/what-i-do.html

I would say that mine looks much more chaotic than her photos when I do it, and the first time I did it, I thought I would never get the yarn unknotted again and wanted to cry Helen xx

Gosh, I had imagined that maybe you'd buy 2 identical balls and then wonder what to do with what was left over. Now, next question, How do they manage to get the repeat pattern into the wool. Dance caller. http://mo-dance-caller.blogspot.co.uk/p/what-i-do.html
Sunny Clucker enjoyed Folk music and song in mid-Cheshire Re: Socks!!Hahaha! Now THAT I have no idea about I know some sockers buy hand dyed yarn, and I have wondered if that has a repeat
There is a Regia Pairfect yarn that is supposed to match if you buy 2 balls. I also know that some people have bought 2x50g of various yarns (I buy 100g) and when trying to find the pattern match, have found that the balls have been wound different ways You have to match from the same direction, otherwise the pattern would be opposite (if you see what I mean) Some people don't match their socks at all, but I rather like them to match. Mind you, that may change. Helen xx
