Notes

Shaft of first leg done in one evening - ha! Forgot how quickly stranded socks tend to grow :)
And - note to self: my gauge is much looser with wooden needles.
Something to remember, because my stranded socks seem too tight most of the time. I’ve been frogging more than one pair in the past because of this phenomen.

I will knit these socks again, next time with needle 2.25 mm and pay more attention: my elephants face the “wrong way”, which I recognized after the first sock was done :(

Intentional mods:
have been knitting the toes stranded too, so as to have very warm socks all over :)
