This is the pair of socks that took me so long to make. Actually the first sock went quickly and then because we were working from three patterns and trying to convert to two circulars I got to a certain point and just went brain dead. So, I had to wait until Linda was available to translate the writing of the pattern and we did finally meet a couple of weeks ago and I really don't know what my problem was. Once I got the directions written down in my language it was very easy and quite enjoyable.
