I probably won’t be blogging for the next week. The picture I leave you with is of my Dad’s re-soleable socks:

Notice something odd about the leg pattern? They’re fraternal twins, not identical. Why? Er, ’cause it amused me at the time.

Being the lazy gal I am, I’m going to take back the old pairs of socks that he’s worn holes in and ‘save’ the leg part. I’ll knit new feet using this re-soleable method. That way I can make him more socks without knitting entirely new socks.

I’m going to make another pair, this time toe-up. Then I’m going to post both patterns here. They’re for dk/8ply sock weight wool, but I will probably go on to write a sock/4ply weight version later on – after I’ve tested them.
