Notes

Bought yarn on destash. Already wound into 2 balls, one was 45 grams and one was 50. Had to rewind one ball so the colours were coming out in the same order.

  • Note to self - should have started the toe in the middle of the rainbow section. Started with blue then violet, then clouds. With the increases, the clouds don’t line up. Turns out that the clouds don’t line up even on the foot.
  • Red starts on plain row 26 stitches.
  • do M1left and M1right for toe increases instead of kfb.

Yarn leftovers: 12 grams and 18 grams.

Summary of Sock Experiment - on US 1 - 2.25 mm needle:
light fingering - 60 stitches
fingering - 58 stitches
heavy fingering - 56 stitches
Adjust stitches if using smaller US 0 - 2.0 mm needle.
