Notes

General
Perle von Nürnberg

MC Wisteria, CC Strings McGee

Using Grumperina's method for cabling without a cable needle.

Wasn’t happy with the look of the stranded section on the first sock so frogged it toda and started over from start of leg chart. Looks like I no longer need to use larger needles for stranded colourwork even on small circumferences.
