Notes

So the green and white is way too small. That was done with light fingering on a #2. Also, not enough contrast.

Tried Mad hatter sport on a #3 and it was way too big.

Picked up the Wisco Sock and will be doing it on a #3. This yarn at 363/100g more closely matches the weight/yardage of the yarn used by the designer (383/100g).
