Also I found I prefer slightly longer blocks of colour &#8211; to me the colour of these looks a bit bitty. I think with the next pair of socks I shall have a few experiments too, I think I shall make the foot about 5 rows longer and I&#8217;m still having trouble casting on too tightly, so I shall try casting on 25% more stitches and then decreasing after the cuff.<\/p>\n<p>I had an email from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.texere.co.uk\/\">Texere Yarns<\/a> to say that my order has been delayed as they have had trouble with their suppliers. So in the meantime I have started a spiral rib sock made from oddments of sock wool for a friend&#8217;s daughter who is 3. I am hoping that the spiral rib will be a good choice as I am not quite sure how big her feet are and as there is no heel in this sock and the rib is very stretchy it will hopefully last a bit longer for fast growing feet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well last night I finished the Regia Stretch socks I seem to have been knitting forever (although it did take me 3 tries to graft the toe!), and today I am wearing them!
