Notes

Started so I have a public knitting project.

Pink= 4.25m, start 90cm in on 2.5mm

Rib 20 rows

Change to 2.25mm at start of round just before first change from green to brown in pattern

Heel after 11th stripe (16.5cm). This was dumb and plain not thinking whilst on the train. I should have done this in the middle of a stripe, as originally planned.

Start toe shaping on 4th row of 10th stripe after heel. (12.5cm).

Heels: 6 rounds before shaping. Decrease to 18st top & bottom then dec every row to 12st

Finished much more quickly than expected. Stripey yarn, and especially this happy colourway, is very addictive. The yarn is so nice after being bathed.

Update 14/3/15: Won First Prize at the Tanunda AH&F Show
