Hopefully I can upload my new sock pattern soon - chunky slipper socks, ideal if you have cold feet! I always dreaded knitting socks as I was put off by my Nan and Great Aunt - who along with my Mum taught me to knit - they loathed socks with a passion. Probably because they knitted loads for the troops in WW2. My other Nan taught me to crochet before she lost her sight. And my sewing skills are partly learned from my Great Aunt's friend, who could do anything with a sewing machine and self taught from my own disasters
