Nice!

I have made one long sock from a Rowan pattern - very nice, fairisle band around the top, shaped calf. Lovely fit. Note that I have made only one!!

I think my next pair will be a take on those Girlie .... I'll stick to my normal heel so as not to confuse myself!

Nice pattern Girlie, what is it? It shows off variegated yarn well.

I've found some lovely soft Manos deal Uruguay. Merino and silk, mostly purple/blue with pink flashes. It's too soft for socks, not sure what to make with it. Something that shows the colours off. Maybe some sort of scarf/shawl.

Still working on my Magrathea. Have found a mistake and am having to tink several rows. Serve me right for getting cocky and not putting in lifelines like I'd planned.

Meglet- Its called Show Off Stranded Socks-- I've shared it in the Dropbox we sharem but I can email it to you if you wish.
The heel construction is a different one to my usual, but the pattern itself is over 4 sts so would work on any multiple of that and a regular heel flap/turn.
