Phew!
Got there! it was looking a bit dicey towards the end as I only had about 1 gram of yarn left!
Pattern: Pomatomus by Cookie.
Yarn: Alpaca merino sock yarn from Purrrfect Yarns.
Needles: 2.5mm.
Modifications: Only did 2 pattern repeats on the leg. Grafted toe at 20 sts rather than 12.
This is a real sock triumph for me. I was defeated in my first attempt at it last year. There’s something about Pomatomus that makes you feel quite accomplished don’t you think? I’m not sure that I would have stuck with them if they hadn’t been my Ravelympics project but I’m so glad that I did!
Anyway, now that they’re done I can get back to a more relaxed pace of knitting. We’re off to the Lakes again this afternoon for a week so things should slow considerably. I may or may not be posting whilst there so have a good week folks!

WOW Those are great looking socks – the nicest pair of Pomatomus socks ever
Congratulations on your personal accomplishment and finishing in time!
Your Pomatomus socks are fabulous! I love the color. Have a great week!
Love the socks! And the Bella bunny, I have one that I nearly finished earlier this year, just haven’t gotten around to sewing her up! Lily has inspired me to get a move on with it
Very nice job… I really like the looks of these socks and the green really makes them stand out
Have fun! Love the yarn/colour/pattern combo. Well done
Just wanted to let you know that I ‘nominated’ you
I know you’ve already got the award, but you are one of my fav blogs so I wanted to include you 
Great color!!
fantastic!
have a wonderful week! enjoy those last few bits of summer break.
Beautiful socks. It’s such lovely pattern knit up but sounds a little troubling in the making. The colour of these is just fabulous too.
They are beautiful and good for you for not giving up!
These are wonderful!
Those are some gorgeous socks!
Bravo for both you and Lily for sticking to the needles and producing fantastic knits!
They are lovely socks and what a fantastic colour!!
Well done – they look fabulous! The colour and the pattern work really well together. I really like both your modifications, and wish I’d done them myself.
Have a great time in the Lakes!
These are fantastic! Congrats on accomplishing your Olympic goal.
I may be biased, but they look fabulous!!! I love the way the colour has knitted up and the patern is well defined. Glad you just about had enough yarn!!
