Notes

It’s already late, but I’m convinced I’ll be done soon.

Knit the small size.
Began the gusset after row 10 instead of after row 3
Did 15 gusset stitches.
Then went to row 3 instead of row 10, and worked twisted rib.

Added a few more stitches in the thumb when I picked up (about 4? 5?) then k2tog in the first few rounds of knitted. Made sure I had an even 3 of stitches before I started the twisted rib.

The yarn has a wonderful lustrous glazed look of many different greens. A lot of non-knitters have oohed and aahed over the yarn color, I have to add that the yarn is super soft and blooms well after blocking. I know it feels a bit “rustic” in the skein but it definitely washes out and blooms with a nice 20 min shampoo wash- feels like my mcn FOs, only a tad thinner!

They’re done and lovely, and they fit!
Thanks D for modeling them!
