multicoloured sock shop!
Right, I think I have sorted out the colours on these so they are close to the right ones (on my monitor anyway!) These are the kiddie sized socks that should have come to camp. I’ve got faster at making them now so anyone else who wants some I can probably run them up significantly faster than I was working at the start of this project! (the first 2 weeks being spent messing about working out the pattern rather than actually producing many usable items, the second 2 weeks being spent getting faster but still needing to look at the pattern every step and then I hit form and rattled Merry’s off with barely a backwards glance whilst watching TV!)
The small ones are about size 8s, medium is about a 10, large is round a size 12 and they all stretch about 1 or 2" (obviously the bigger ones stretch further)
Helen and Merry have first dibs on these as they had "pre-ordered". Provisionally the small and large purple varigated ones are for the Beans unless you decide otherwise Helen.
The small adult ones are a much thinner yarn than the rest so have not come out quite the right size and are just a fraction too small for me (size 4s) so would fit a size 2 or 3 foot nicely.
The pink stipes is a child large but I forgot to label that one properly, for the same reason I should probably point out that both hte rainbow ones are smalls as are the pastels.
Merry has threatened violence against me if I don’t sort out costings for these so I’m going with £2 for the small ones (because they really don’t take much time or yarn) then £4 for the other child sizes. I have some posting bags lurking in a corner and postage will be at cost so I’ll have to tell you how much it is once I’ve sent them!
bb has just pointed to rainbow stripe if thats ok, or would go with original purple [small] and the large child purple for sb - and muffatees if poss!

stripes is fine, as I think I may have mentioned the tiny ones are fast to run up so if any other tots want stripes that’s fine - I’d done them all different to avoid camp confusions between which socks belonged to which family
I’ll measure Aprilia’s hands in the morning, I assume our girls have similar sized paws, then make the muffatees (love that word - much posher sounding than fingerless mittens somehow!)
