In 2019 I had hoped to design 12 socks as part of the UK Sock Knitters Challenge, but health got in the way of that. I did, however, get my sock knitting fill with plain vanilla socks so I designed 7 pairs and knit 6 vanilla. If you want to see the 7 socks I designed during the first part of the challenge page the project page is HERE

In June I started Physiotherapy, and my ME/CFS symptoms kinda flared like crazy. So some simple comfort knitting was in order.

All of these are my standard toe-up sock with an afterthought heel (to keep the stripes in order)

The colourways used are

Material Girl
Chelsea
Grape Gatsby
Pinwheel
Jamboree
Playhouse

I start with 24 sts at the toe, increasing up to 64 for the foot and leg sections. The heel is worked as an afterthought - decreasing down from 64 to 24 then grafting closed.
