Update of last post : socks knit on four needles with only twenty -eight stitches

Here are socks knit since the original posting:  the linen socks that got very worn got mended and worn again.  But in July I bought some more linen and started another pair - on the green needles.  I will be able to wear them over knee socks in the cool months. The bulky pair of amber are pure wool;  the lightweight pair of amber are from a cone of rayon, a fibre archeology find at a church sale, likely from someone's stash in the Seventies.  The steel oatmeal socks are acrylic - pilling a bit, as acrylic can do, but nicely serviceable.
