Notes

Started off with 2 circular needles then morphed into magic circle for cuff. “Very stretchy cast on for ribbing” by TillyBuddy.
Loving the yarn as it gives good stitch definition and has a nice sheen.
Just finished the heel using FLK method. Looks great.
Had another look at the heel and there is a small hole at the top of the decreases. It is not a dropped stitch but maybe I did not wrap tightly enough here.

Using a 2.25mm 80cm long Pony needle-hatefull

First sock finished and fits beautifully. Only thing I am not keen on is the Kitchener stitched toe. Next pair will be toe up!
