Thanks for all the encouraging words about this new way of eating for me. 
So far so good. I’ve found an egg substitute for use in baking and have found ONE bar of chocolate in the local Tescos that doesnt contain dairy or soya/soya lecithin. Goats milk is very drinkable and grand in my porridge.  We’ve even eaten out in the local indian after doing a bit of research on what goes into different sauces, and knowing I can eat popadoms but not Naan bread etc. As my DH says, Ive survived so far with eating all those things, so if I eat something without realising it contains diary, soya or egg, then Im not going to keel over from it.
My first day back at work was a disastor, goats milk-wise. I brought it in a travel mug but it wasnt shut properly and leaked everywhere, didnt realise it until id gotten to my desk. Im sure there was a trail from my car to my office as there was evidence it had been leaking while in my car also  I had green tea instead but missed my rooibus.
Today almost turned out similar. I had made a wrap last night for lunch today and had put it on top of the litre of goats milk (gm) I bought yesterday evening to leave in work. My DH took my wrap out for me this morning and of course at that early hour, I didnt even think about it and only thought about it on the way into work. Luckily, there was a supermarket on the way and I managed to get some there. The whole idea of putting the wrap on top of the gm was to remember to bring in the gm. Duh. Im so forgetful at that time of the morning.

Anyway, enough about that. Look here:

yes, its a finished sock. Its one of a pair, both finished, except this one was the only one finished when I took the photo. Then I gave it to my Dad for Christmas and proceeded to make the second sock. Luckily, he tells me that its absolutely amazing, they are both the exact same size. Yes Dad, I have your foot measurements and I have a tape measure. I’d hope they would end up the same size. I havent been able to get the pair of them together in order to take a picture, but will see if I can get a shot of him wearing them.

I made these a little larger, for my dads measurements, by using size 3.5mm dpns. They felt loose while I was knitting, and I was worried they would be too big for him, but he seems to think they are fine.

Pattern: globe trotter socks
