But with DK yarn instead of sock yarn. I need to work out a way of knitting toe-up which allows decreases each row for the first few rows (I&#8217;ve been doing left\/right-leaning increases which don&#8217;t lend themselves to being worked every row elegantly), because the only criticism (I KNOW &#8211; knit a chap a pair of socks and does he stop carping &#8211; no he doesn&#8217;t) of these when they were tried on was that they are &#8220;a bit pointy&#8221;. And to be fair, I can see where he&#8217;s coming from. They are. A bit pointy.<\/p>\n<p>But other than that, they are fab. They hug the foot. They are long enough.

The boys were the most effort, mainly because Joel wanted to watch TV and his friend isn&#8217;t as big a fan of &#8220;nearly naked animals&#8221; as Joel is. Plus, Joel&#8217;s friend fell in a puddle up to his knees. AFTER I&#8217;d said he didn&#8217;t need to wear his Wellies. Although, to be fair, given the size of the puddle and the total trip it caused, I don&#8217;t think Wellies would have made much difference&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Following a brief but enthusiastic campaign, Steve&#8217; substandard Christmas present socks have now been replaced with some Much Better socks.
