More finished socks!
Finished up a pair of size 2 (UK) socks for a work colleague, using some leftover sock yarns.
Worked out row counts for the following foot lengths. RC is row counter (132 rows in the round on a knitting machine is actually 66 rounds).

Was planning to make socks with the Finnish Novita DK yarn I bought in Helsinki. Alas, I can't follow the sock pattern inside the ball band. The Finns obviously go for patterns written long-hand, instead of K1 P1. So it's becoming fingerless gloves instead. I missed having a hand-knitting project so much, that I actually cast on before I wove in the ends of the socks! Perhaps my subconscious thinks it's unlucky to have no works-in-progress?
Have completed front and back of the wave sweater - awaiting more yarn before I start the sleeves. Not decided on whether to make plain sleeves, or to continue the pattern.
