I made some progress at my third attempt at my own design socks. If I have the energy I will do it one more time, this time with an extra row in st st in beige before and after the multi-coloured pattern. But at least this last try is wearable:
And last night I started on the border (all 385 stitches) on the vest for my brother. It's coming together nicely and so far I'm making good time on all Spring birthday presents.
I made a yarn count blunder on the ivory sweater - I was out by 5 balls. I still can't work out how. So I've had to go back to knitpicks to ask them if they have the same lot number still available. Fingers crossed.
And as I was ordering more yarn, I also ordered some new yarn for my next project. A soft toy for my nephew - I'm going to knit him a turtle.

I like the sock pattern you are working, particularly the fairisle splash of color.

I love the sock pattern! Are you going to publish the pattern?
