My first every Christmas Eve cast-on and using my first ever Christmas skein of yarn too.

These are another pair from The Knitters Book of Socks and they are still a favourite of mine six years later.

The pattern was lovely to work up and the yarn very festive.

===================================

Absolutely love this pattern and this yarn called Baubles from Vicky Brown.

Am working them two at a time but on different needles because it's my first time working a wrap and turn heel (is that a short row heel?) and I didn't want to get flummoxed.

Today I turned the heel on sock one....wahoooooo sock two I'm coming for ya!

===================================

Finished them on the 24th January! My husband mentioned lightly (ahem) when he came home from work that it was the 24th and was I planning on finishing them because of that. Me furiously working on the sole of sock 2 replied in a panic that YEP I was and so I stayed up waaaayyyyyy past my bedtime and got these beauties finished. I love them. And they fit. I was worried they wouldn't because it's my first time with a short row heel.

ps. I'm now making these in a solid colour because I think the lace pattern will look gorgeous in a solid colour.
