These socks for Hiro were started a very long time ago but were quickly put to one side because checking a chart does not make relaxing TV knitting. Nothing wrong with the chart but variegated yarn meant I couldn't read my knitting enough to knit from memory.
The design is Diamond Geezer from Easy Knits and I used a sock flat by Flatfoot called Marine. I knit straight from the roll which didn't cause any problems with the tension. I think a monochrome yarn would be better as this doesn't do the design justice. Although I love intricate socks I'm still not convinced that an item which so few people see is worth all the effort. Hiro is very happy with his socks.
