It's just a case of sliding the ruler into the foot part of the sock to measure the length. I haven't tried it yet but I'm knitting a pair of socks for Eleanor at the moment and she isn't here for me to try them on her as I knit them so we'll see if it works.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17436932004631816039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5605977931488846865.post-88449273541326432922019-01-14T21:24:26.501+00:002019-01-14T21:24:26.501+00:00Beautiful gifts!

I wouldn't want to buy a house which already had a problem. I do hope the builders are up front about it when they come to sell and then any potential buyer can make their own decision.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17436932004631816039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5605977931488846865.post-54614594697012536262019-01-12T17:58:23.034+00:002019-01-12T17:58:23.034+00:00The colours are gorgeous, even more pretty than th...The colours are gorgeous, even more pretty than the photo shows.
