Stripes and Spots

Nearly there - here is the last of the stripy socks and the first spotty one. I am pleased to report that all the socks have been completed since this photograph was taken - the spotty one above took some doing in order to get the spots correct after shaping the heel - I changed the pattern as I didn't think the spots fell properly so that took a few attempts until I was happy.
I have also completed all the hanging loops but need to do the cord now - just started but it needs to be 59ins long - seems a funny number why not 60??
Ok must get back to it so that it is completed before the 24th - a day when I can start another project, yes?
ps. Just read the pattern - apparently the cord needs to be 150cm which is 59" - completely glossed over the metric stuff :-)
