I’m knitting this for son no.1 and I’m very pleased with it. I must apologise for the photograph, I’ll try and take one in natural light when its finished.

I started it this evening and decided to change the pattern slightly as I wanted it to be just a little wider but to keep the essence of the pattern. I think I have succeeded. Its a very quick knit and I’m into my second ball already. Son no.1, has approved the choice of pattern, yarn (Rowan Yarn, soft tweed in Sprig) and I believe is quite pleased with it. He is of course on a threat worse than death if when finished he loses it. Son no.2 huffed a little bit and wailed for a pair of socks, he has extremely wide feet that are a size 11… ‘gulp’. The work of a knitter is never done.
