Mr H came into the room, took one look at this lot and disappeared upstairs muttering about an early night.<\/p>\n<p>There are 364 sock patterns in my Ravelry library, so it took quite a while to narrow it down. I&#8217;ve added a few more sock patterns to my Ravelry Queue:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ravelry.com\/patterns\/library\/herringbone-rib-socks\">Herringbone Rib Socks<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ravelry.com\/patterns\/library\/leyburn-socks\">Leyburn Socks<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Both of these are good for variegated yarn. However, I decided I wanted to knit some semi-solids and I have cast on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ravelry.com\/patterns\/library\/tintern-abbey\">Tintern Abbey Socks<\/a>. This has a whole new (to me) toe and heel construction &#8211; The Sherman Toe\/Heel &#8211; and is from Brenda Dayne&#8217;s ongoing ebook, Welsh for Rainbow.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/trundlebug.co.uk\/blog\/?p=72\">Way back when<\/a>, I resolved to knit (and wear) a pair of socks in pink. I&#8217;ve put it off long enough. Here is the first toe. Strictly speaking this is the second toe, since the first one I knit using the instructions for a Sherman Toe bore no resemblance whatsoever to a toe. It turns out that if you follow the instructions (without questioning them and doing what you think they mean instead of what they actually say) then it works fine.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/trundlebug.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/webIMG_2782l.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-339\" alt=\"webIMG_2782l\" src=\"https:\/\/trundlebug.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/webIMG_2782l-300x225.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/trundlebug.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/webIMG_2782l-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/trundlebug.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/webIMG_2782l-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/trundlebug.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/webIMG_2782l.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>In other news, I have been baking:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/trundlebug.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/webIMG_2776l.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-336\" alt=\"webIMG_2776l\" src=\"https:\/\/trundlebug.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/webIMG_2776l-300x225.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/trundlebug.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/webIMG_2776l-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/trundlebug.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/webIMG_2776l-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/trundlebug.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/webIMG_2776l.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/trundlebug.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/webIMG_2777p.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-337\" alt=\"webIMG_2777p\" src=\"https:\/\/trundlebug.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/webIMG_2777p-225x300.jpg\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/trundlebug.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/webIMG_2777p-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/trundlebug.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/webIMG_2777p.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/trundlebug.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/webIMG_2778p.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-338\" alt=\"webIMG_2778p\" src=\"https:\/\/trundlebug.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/webIMG_2778p-225x300.jpg\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/trundlebug.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/webIMG_2778p-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/trundlebug.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/webIMG_2778p.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Fresh croissants for breakfast is something I probably shouldn&#8217;t get used to.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This was the scene when I got out my stash to look it over and decide what to knit next.
