Notes

These socks are really funky but when done in black I’m hoping they will be innocuous enough for to wear with formal garb (ie slacks and a tie.)

Finished in just under 18 months… I suffer from SSS pretty badly…

Since I was knitting these for man feet I cast on 72 stitches instead of 60.

The yarn is so soft, but it pills like a mother. It started pilling on the ball as I was knitting. Granted it took a while to get these finished, but they look sort of “old” already. I’m hoping that after a washing and using the sweater stone on them they will look nice again.

The socks on knit on the size 2s. The 0s were only used for the ribbing at the top and the 7 was only used for binding off.
