After multiple attempts and ragging back twice - finally have a sock I am proud of.

So apparently this sock took me about a month to make. It’s a bit roomy because I decided to unilaterally get rid of the ribbing and apparently that is the result but I’m pretty happy with it! #socktober #knitsky

Had to unravel the heel turn as I wasn’t 100% happy with it. Knittinghousesquare YouTube video has saved the day I’ve decided I will just always follow that! Very clear instructions @knitsky

Made my first pair of socks 🧦- took 7 months and very satisfying time to get the next ones cast on #secondsockweek #knitsky

I’m terrible at taking photos but my first day at the @charityammf.bsky.social conference today was fantastic. I don’t know how to express how important it is for patients advocates carers and care providers all being in the room together. I’ve written down a ton of take homes already..

A bit of progress made on the second sock over Easter #knitsky. Hopefully can finish it this week with a bit of concerted effort.

Absolutely spoilt for all things UK UGI cancers this week with a wonderful prog by UKIOG on Monday meeting inc Ash Tokhi and ending with a OGOS in Oxford where I had the pleasure of seeing my former Cambridge colleague surgeon Ayesha Noorani speak. Next week will struggle to top this excitement!

Amazing day at #UKIOG annual conference today catching up with the gastro-oesophageal cancer community. Absolute highlight hearing about enhanced supportive care clinics. Working closely with palliative care colleagues is so essential.

Third attempt to finish my finish the sock toe - hopefully tonight I can do it

Sock progress being made. Just the toe to go. Proud of my first attempt at a sock.

My feed is 90% knitting now 5% artisan wool producers as 5% oncology/science. Probably best. After a super dicey morning managed to rescue the sock and I’m now on the calf bit. It’s my 1st sock I made a lot of progress today due to collapsing in a heap with post viral fatigue on my day off.

All stitches back on needle! Disaster averted

Heartstopping scenes here as I deal with the consequences of knitting in the dark when sick. There has been unravelling, dropped stitches and fixing mistakes. More soon.

Been a bit under the weather today but have rallied enough to make progress on my first sock on circular needles

This week I am learning ti knit socks

@lucygossage.bsky.social has accelerated at the end and smashed to the end of the spine race. A million chapeau’s being raised by women all over the world tonight.

My fun with double pointed needles is over- apparently this is the way to go - sock production is back on.
