A Country Garden Christmas socks

These were such fun to make - 'scrappy' socks using some of the (twenty four) mini skeins from last year's Sherry Iris Advent Calendar: thirteen colours, five rows apiece in sequence, the yarn ends knitted in as I went.

I continued the slipped stitch pattern through the heel turn, which I hope will be comfortable and improve wear.

The toe is Kay Jones' 'umbrella' toe, and the off-white wool is West Yorkshire Spinners' Signature 4 Ply in Milk Bottle.

They look great, that must have been a lot of ends to weave in I am not surprised you did as you went along!

Ooh, very cheery and I love the toe, Karen! Merry Christmas!

Your sock making always inspires me to cast on another pair. These are lovely and a great way to use mini skeins. An idea I shall store away for later use,likewise continuing the slip stitch on the heel. Noticed that as soon as I saw the photo!
