I don’t know anything about Rebecca Page, but I’ve had notifications from a couple of sewers I follow regarding this free event. There are a couple of classes that look interesting, I’m still debating whether to register. Don’t know why, I’m being cautious.

I dropped into the Cheadle store “for a look” today. I picked up a sale fabric and a striped organic  cotton terry. Both were reduced, which I wasn’t expecting as fabrics never seem to be included in their offers, although it is generally advertised in that department.

Various big 4 patterns reduced.

Sorry all. This one works.

This is where I am up to. I have decided to make the sock longer than the pattern so started the other one to try to ensure same length socks.   [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

The gauge says "6 inches per inch worsted weight, 7 stitches per inch sport's weight", which I read literally and stocking stitched those numbers. Maybe I should make a bigger piece then measure a square inch then count.   The wool I've been looking at is 4 ply which I've discovered is thinner than sports weight which is 5 ply. So I'll have to use my brain rather than be an automaton, my preferred way of doing things these days!

The yarn is sock wool, so should stay up Iminei. I looked up double cast on method, which may be a help, so I'm going to give it a try. If not, the shirring elastic will come out.

Thank you for your kind words Celia.  If I don't set myself a target to break it will end up lingering.

I don't quite understand the instructions Brenda, but I'll try again to make sense of it.

I've ordered my yarn. Yeah!

Thank you so much for all your comments, support and stories. I have done a bit more research.
The kit comes with 2.75 needles,which is a bit confusing as the booklet says the mid calf socks can be knitted with from the yarn and needles in the kit. The tension square asks for 3mm needles though and Brenda, indeed has a firmer knit than the 3.25 needles, however it is smaller than the required tension according to the pattern. How can I remedy this? 

The yarn I think is sports weight (is that aran?), or double knitting, certainly not 4ply, and the finished size should be women's medium. With size 4 shoe, I consider myself to have small feet. Do I?

Even more confusing it's written in k2p2 rib, but the gauge is in stocking stitch, which I intend to use. I shall definitely divide the wool into two, but as I only have one set of 5 pins will have to do one at a time. However I have found another set of 2.75 4 pins. so could have one roaming needle and knit the two simultaneouly. 

And the learning from this exercise, thus far, never throw the ball band away until the garment is completed!
