Notes

The yarn seems to be thinner than most fingering weight sock yarn I have used before, so even with a basic 64 stitch sock pattern, I think the socks will have a little too much stretch around my foot and leg than what I normally like. I have small feet, so this is kind of surprising.

I also find the yarn to be splitty and it feels almost like paper. I do not think I will use it again. It also had a oceany-fishy odor to it at first - must be the chitin in it.

These are knit using the magic loop method, 2 socks at one time (2S1C).
Addi turbo’s, 47”.

Oh - & I absolutely LOVE this pattern!!!!!

4-9-14: Hole in heel - first pair of socks that has worn through. I have much older socks that are still in ship shape order. Will NOT use this yarn again.
