Unfortunately the lovely little house we stayed in did not have fantastic light in the lounge room and as such I made mistakes a number of times. Eventually abandoning the project all together. I went ahead and broke out the sock yarn I had bought for just such an occassion.
I used my basic sock pattern in absentia and cast on from memory (yes I managed to do it from memory. The yarn is Lorna's Laces sock in Watercolor colourway.
On returning home I had a couple of other projects to play with (See blanket and hat) and have just picked them up to finish them this weekend. I am really pleased with the striping effect the yarn has for all but the instep section.

socks do make great emergency knitting! i started some to take to bendigo but i dont think ive done anymore on them than the last row somewhere around 30 000 feet betweem melbourne and sydney! i cant believe youve finished yours, they look great!
I do love LL sock yarn - but it does have a naughty tendency to pool in the gussets. But I'll forgive it, because it's so nice to knit with and wear (and also wash in the machine, hurrah!)
