(As the Monty Python gang used to say “And now for something completely different!)

I’m working away at those six pairs of socks I agreed to knit for a friend for her daughter and granddaughter for Christmas. I will make the deadline – two pair left – three weeks/pair. I’m hoping to be finished by the end of October/first week of November!

I’ve already started pair #5 – in green.

My only concern is whether the foot is long enough – if it isn’t – I’m going to have six pairs of socks with feet I’ll have to lengthen by around 4-5 rows.

(I’ve started thinking about how to do that – like by cutting the foot open, adding the rows to the foot, then reattaching the toe end using a Kitchener stitch! It would be less work than unravelling the toe, knitting the extra rows, and reuniting the toe!)

Fingers crossed the socks will fit.
