These were supposed to be the first of two pairs for a Discworld makealong but it didn't quite work out that way with the whole illness thing.

Also, couldn't take proper pics yet so you get me lying on my back on the bed wiggling my feet in the air instead, which actually might be better than real photos!

Pattern is Eskarina Socks by Rachel Coopey and the yarn is Socks Yeah! also (coincidentally) by Rachel Coopey!

I knit the size M which is way bigger than I normally go but another knitter who usually does my size advised it. Honestly, I could totally have gone with small, they're ever-so-slightly baggy.

They are also very awesome though so idc I'll just wear them over warm tights ๐Ÿ˜„

These turned out amazing! This is the sort of thing that make me want to try knitting, it just seems so much more intimidating and involved than cross stitch lol

Omg do itttt. Although admittedly you wouldn't want to start out on socks as your first project, but you're well used to just diving in and trying stuff so get casting on already! :D

(also thank you)
