21Sept2013: Had some fun making an entire pair of socks out of 1 ball of Rowan Tumble… only 77 yards!

This pattern is great for the task. I think that the heel turn is off in the first p row after turning, because each time I got to it, the count was off and I had to go one extra.

I’m too lazy to figure out whether that is true or not, lol.

I separated the ball into two by weight before starting, but one sock ended up significantly longer than the other! I don’t care, these are going to be some amazing bed socks for my cold feet in the winter.

Love this yarn for it’s warmth and utter weirdness. It’s like knitting with a felted alpaca rope!! I think the price is prohibitive, though.

Each sock took about 2.5 hours.
