It seems such a long time since I've had knitting needles in my hands, and they were just itching to knit again. While I was in town last week, I picked up a couple of patterns for socks. I've never knitted adult socks befoe, so thought I'd finally give it a go. I didn't realise until I got home, that the patterns were for two needle socks, and not dpns. If I'd known that, I might have taken the plunge earlier. What was even better, the yarn I chose was half price.
I now have one sock, much quicker and easier to knit than I had expected
I quite like the top too.
I used Sirdar Escape DK, which is 51% wool, 49% acrylic. All it needs now, is it's mate.

That looks like a very cosy, albeit lonely, sock. It was very cold the other night so could have done with a pair of these. I must check out the two-needle patterns.
Very nice! That didn't take long at all! :0)
Pretty sock. Good luck with the other half of the pair.
2 needle socks? Who knew?
And so lovely.
Very pretty, but too hot for wool socks right now here. I couldn't pick up needles to do that a the momement. Is there a seam?
Bit by the sock knitting bug! They're addictive, Jane. I love the colors here.
