Opal Sideways Socks 2

- finished these on the weekend, the ankles are a bit baggy and the cuff is still a bit tight, but the instep fits nicely.

One sock off and one sock on

Started and finished Trekking XXL 108 last week for DD, done cuff down, socks are mismatched due to random striping and cuff is wider so it can be worn folded or not. - 32" 2.0 mm Inox circular ML, worked on 68 sts except SRH on 42 of 72 sts.

OTN:

Started and restarted these Opal 1433 Sideways socks, Hundertwasser 897 silver spiral colourway.

Sideways Sock

Here's one finished TIGHT FITTING sideways sock that's knit flat and sewn up the back - quite a struggle to get the garter st cuff over the heel.
