Notes

Just bedsocks, because my granddad deserves something smooth and nice on his feet. I am not expecting the arroyo to be hard-wearing.
Knitting two socks at a time using magic loop, but cast on on DPN - too fiddly for me otherwise!
Knitting toe-up because I am not sure how much yarn I will need.

My gauge was spot on :).

Notes for self:
Measures of my granddads foot (about size eur 44):
length toe - back of heel: 28,5 cm
foot circ : 10 inch
ankle circ: 11,5 inch
height heel - cast of : 7 inch

Fit perfectly! :D

Not satisfied with the heel, short-rows give holes. Will try a different heel next time.

The yarn is incredibly soft!
