Notes

Finally weighed my remaining yarn and added some pictures! Had to move the cat bed to sit next to a window, so kitty had to jump in as protest. Now that I’ve had time to marinate on these socks I realize what I don’t like is that they are a little too big on my feet, but at least now I know for future sock-making.

Finished! I’m not sure how I feel about the finished result, I will have to wait and try them on again when they’re done drying. The pattern is easy to read and follow, and on it’s own is very cute, but this yarn is really hairy and has fuzzies all over it already (probably from when I’ve had to tink back a row or two.)

This is my first time working with DPNs. There’s a little bit of a learning curve - and I broke two of them because I take my knitting everywhere and I must have somehow sat on them - but overall easy peasy. If I do socks again I think I will try magic loop instead as I’ll be less likely to lose/break those.
