Notes

Starting tonight. It would nice to have them done before he gets home from the hospital, but knowing my speed they’ll take a bit longer.

I’m loving this pattern! You barely notice all the tiny stitches because it’s fascinating to see the pattern work up. It’s perfect for needless cabling as well. I highly recommend colour coding the different charts for ease of use.

The second sock really slags on, but that’s mainly because I was making a really large men’s size. But boy oh boy was it a long go.

Sixe 2.5 needles for the entire time (I didn’t switch as the pattern recommends) , judy’s magic cast on toe and russian bind off on size 5 needles for a nice stretchy bind off.
