I may have been knitting a bit too much over the last week, judging by the ache in my left shoulder, but how am I supposed to stop when I can see these amazing socks appearing on the needles?
Please excuse the terrible night-time photo, I’ve been searching for a job all day.
Although I’m not overly fond of yellow itself, bright pops of colour against black is one of my favourite combos of all time so that’s another level of enjoyment added to this already-very-enjoyable knit.
I was trying to race through the foot to get to the last colourwork bit but I’ve still got a few centimetres to go (and the sore shoulder) so who knows how long it will be before I get to wear my first colourwork socks out in the wild. I still can’t wait!

I am amazed and impressed, Hannah ! π
But I’m also very sorry about the job situation. Do you get any kind of dole while you’re searching, up there in Glasgow ?

There is Universal Credit, but it’s a pittance and an absolute mission to apply for, and they don’t give you anything for the first 7 days anyway. I am managing with my savings until another something comes along.

Well done, they look great and I’m not a yellow fan but to be sure they really have great contrast against the black.

Wow – very cool pattern and color choices on those socks. Okay – now you need to do some stretches or add some knitter-ergonomics to your routine, ha! Sorry you got sore!

I do have some stretches, but I get into the zone and lose track of time so easily that I don’t always do them as often as I should!
