I have started a pair of socks. It is awhile since I knitted some and I forgot what a pain they are till you get a few rows going! I'm pleased with the pattern though!!

but I have just realised that the 2nd section of the pattern I have done totally wrong Confused

1st part * knit 4 purl2 *
2nd part *k2 p2 k2*
3rd part * p2 k4*

I have been doing on the 2nd part k2 p2 k2 p2 k2 p2 k2 p2

instead of k2 p2 k2 k2 p2 k2 k2 p2 k2 k2 p2

do you think it will matter, well it will to me, I think I will undo it Crying or Very sad

If it was me, I would have to unpick it Sad

it would annoy me more if I left it wrong than the time to unpick the wrong bit.

I have also started, I have two more pattern repeats before turning the heel about 18 cm. It's a very pretty subtle pattern and the colour stripes seem to match every 4 rows Very Happy
