The latest sock is done and set free after a couple of cast offs because the top was too tight. Though it now looks a bit frilly, it's still not ever-so-loose (or maybe it's my fat calves that are the problem?) I have yet to be convinced that the toe up method is the one for me!

A record of my journey towards "An elegant sufficiency, content, retirement, rural quiet, friendship, books, ease and alternate labour, useful life" Not there yet. Some way to go!
I knit, I sew, I embroider, I paint and draw and occasionally keep a journal. I do funny things with paper, paint and glue, I make books and other stuff. Not much of this is of any use (with the possible exception of the socks I knit) but I find fun in everything I do. I love colour, texture, pattern and want to do it all perfectly - preferably in the next five minutes. When I'm not making stuff myself, I'm teaching someone else how to do it (or teaching someone else to teach someone else to do it)

Lovely sock!
I enjoyed the portrait quiz below. I'm delighted to find I should have been painted by Klimt!

I'm just idling wondering what cast off you used on your lovely sock? When I finally get to that point on mine I'm going to try the EZ sewn one. Like you, however, I won't be in a hurry to do any more toe-up socks.

Of course, that should read "idly" not "idling". The heat is making me lose my ability to use the English language. LOL!
