My first attempt at a sock on my Circular Sock Machine with our own Lincoln Longwool, spun by Curlew Weavers in Wales and hand-dyed with birch bark by yours truly.Lots and lots of mistakes – the foot is too long, the toe isn’t the right shape and there’s a ton of dropped stitches, marked by the lovely alpaca stitch markers from @eweandply (they have a nice “jangle” when they’re side-by-side in a row together like this ).A long way to go to get a decent sock, but to quote Charlie Mackesy…”Look how far we’ve come!”
