I tried a new sock knitting pattern for this pair. I can't find a link to the pattern download, it was by Reiga and I assume it was a free download form somewhere that I neglected to keep a note of.
I found the pattern more difficult to follow than the one I usually use and the socks came out baggier with a heel that seems a little awkward and "sticky out".
I'll be going back to my usual vintage Patons knitting pattern.
But that yarn, now that's just gorgeous!! I love the intricate self patterning design. It was lovely to see it grow beneath my fingers.
Shout out to the lovely lady at Whitby Crafts https://www.facebook.com/WhitbyCrafts who helped me pick it out and colour match the solid contrasting yarn.
The yarns are Funny Feetz in Colour FZ01- https://www.jamescbrett.co.uk/yarn/funny-feetz
And Truly Wool Rich 4 Ply by Cygnet Yarns - https://www.cygnetyarns.com/truly-wool-rich-4-ply
I'm really happy with both yarns so far.
