Not technically loot today, this is a finished long overdue WIP that's been hanging around for some time. I very nearly frogged the lot when I couldn't comprehend the instructions... but figured I was 50% complete so kept going.
Knitted Socks for Me!
Knitted on TWO needles... I found this a bit daunting setting stitches on spare needles and stitch holders and re-joining all together again - but hey I've done it, may not have mastered it yet... but feeling more confident in attacking one of my more difficult patterns on 5 needles :)
Can you see the mistake on the right foot? This was the first sock I knitted and have ended up with a purl row on the knit side *doh* plus a few holes in the feet where I found it difficult to follow instructions with the heel shaping / instep shaping... the sock on the left originally had the heel knitted inside out *double doh* so I frogged it and re-started and here it is - correct!!!

And Just because - here is the headband I whipped up yesterday for tonight's Party. I am 90% sure I will go with the retro disco (thanks for all your suggestions) I will however be trying the skirt on later today and hoping my knobbly knees / white legs aren't too distressing a sight... now where is that razor of mine?
A wee bit of FMQ for more practice - done in an orange thread ~ very curly pops huh? Excuse my huge forehead!!!
Completely reversible with Pink and pink on pink spot :)

Brilliant socks! Can't wait to see something that takes 5 needles to knit.
