I completed these quickly as I was able to knit them during the day as I've been immobile following knee surgery.
It was an easy pattern to follow, mainly a simple but boring K3 P3 rib for the leg then a small lacy panel that creeps across the foot which was more interesting to knit.
I also learned a new technique of a backwards loop cast on when I had to create stitches, this is a good technique for when I'm next doing earflap baby hats.
I chose a semi solid Laughing Yaffle Yarn I had in my stash. The colourway is called Midnight owl and was lovely to knit with. I couldn't knit the socks at night as the yarn is rather dark though.
It made a change to have a simpler pattern as my concentration was lacking in the immediate aftermath of my surgery.
Next pair will be either Bex or Milo, both of which are more complex and challenging.
