Cyclops Feb 2016 6:44pm, 6 Feb 2016 2,183 posts	0 Cyclops 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!!

EvilPixie Feb 2016 11:32am, 7 Feb 2016 11,377 posts	0 EvilPixie 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!
Meglet Feb 2016 11:57am, 7 Feb 2016 16,615 posts	0 Meglet 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.
Girlie Feb 2016 12:34pm, 7 Feb 2016 10,629 posts	0 Girlie 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.
