Notes

Finished just in time for Christmas Eve dinner and gift exchange.

They were too small, but I had a feeling they would be. She is size six, but her feet aren’t as narrow as I’d planned.

Probably just reknitting the top of the socks and then sewing to the bottom portion. I think this will allow her to pull them over her ankles.

We’ll see….might take me longer to adjust the socks than it took to knit.

If I had enough of the darker yarn, I’d totally knit them with size 4 needles. Because I don’t have size 3 and I originally did them in size 2….grrrrrr
