Notes

General
Yarn is incredibly soft, but it has a slight tendecy to split.
This is the sort of colourwork I really enjoy - the boring, repeating stuff is easily memorised and the complicated stuff lets you watch a picture develop.
I really hope the recipient has smaller feet than me because these turned out a bit smaller than I thought they would.
I don’t think I like this sort of heel, it’s too shallow.

Mods
Don’t like the swirly border so I’m doing two fishbone borders instead. Also removing the fishbone from the heel and doing stripes only. And will mirror the cats on the second sock.
Knitting these in tandem to avoid Second Sock Syndrom :-)
Instead of grafting the toe I knitted two more decrease rounds and finished in the usual thread-through-remaining-stitches-pull-tight way.
