Ok, I finished the first sock in the new yarn. Still larger than I hoped for but a little smaller than the last one. I got all the colors in the one sock lol, but the color changes are short so it all works out, and looks like I won’t have to do too much yarn management to start the 2nd sock in about the same place. I did a kitchner toe on this one instead of just pulling the stitches together as per the pattern, because I didn’t like the original toe. This one looks so much nicer and rounded :).
Looks a little weird to have all the reds, oranges, pinks and yellow for them to have thrown in a green – looks a little out of place to me, but they didn’t ask me :P. I will start on the 2nd sock, probably tomorrow, too tired tonight to deal with casting on tiny socks on tiny double pointed needles and making sure I didn’t twist anything. They might not end up being matchy matchy, but I think they will be close enough.

I’m knitting socks for my grandchildren at the moment. I’m just over halfway on the final one, which will be number eight. (I’ve made four pairs.) 🙂

I bought the pattern I use at a small craft village (Ashford Village in Ashburton, NZ). If you can follow this link https://www.ashford.co.nz/opal-patterns
it shows “The Great Sock Collection” booklet, but I’m not sure how you would get hold of it. I’ve been using this booklet and the Opal sock yarn. Karen

Also, when I Googled Opal yarns the first thing in my search had a free downloadable PDF of the adult version in this pattern booklet. Not sure if it will come up the same for people outside NZ as it is on a local wool shop chain website. Good luck. 🙂
