Oh, they look great, Sally - well done
Having told you I had no problems with the pointy pins, I managed to slam my hand down, hard, onto a sticking-up one... ouch. They are surprisingly sharp... I am a
lot more careful with them now! (And still can't use a scoop normally - but it is getting better
)
BH is so impressed with the first correctly fitting long sock I made for him, he said he didn't just want its pair, he wanted another 20 like it!
We'll see how the first pair wear, though, first - they take about 200g per pair, the weight and length he likes them, that's a lot of knitting if they don't wear very well!
(Plus I would like a pair - or two... - for myself before he gets another...
)
