Cuff done. Chuffed to see that my tension is doing purty good, considering I’m going back & forth between these and a worsted weight cable.

And…going to frog. These are too small at the 64 stitch size. I’m going to go up to the 72 stitch size, and go down one needle size, to get a small increase but not a huge one. I also think I’ll like the fabric better.

Add to the list Prince St. Cafe, which apparently is Lancaster City’s hotspot for job interviews & performance evaluations. At least three uncomfortable conversations.

Fiddly start, restarted.

Waiting for flu shot.
Cuff done, I think the fit will be better.

Haven’t added to the list for a while but then since I went 4AAT on these they aren’t traveling as much. They did go to Benchwarmers in W. Reading, United Artists Salon, and today they are going to Coffee Station in Lititz. If I don’t turn the heels this weekend, I may scream.

Let’s see, add…
To & from western PA, and while there
Amtrak to & from Philly, and while waiting for Brian to get his suit fitted, and many other places.

Bovary toe.

Finally got a nice finish to the kitchener by:
--really tightening up the first two stitches off
--only doing the first half of the stitch on the last two stitches
--putting the tail thru the last K side stitch and pulling tight from the other side. No pointy toes!

Very nice highly twisted sock yarn. I think they will have good durability as well.
