Notes

7/30/13:
The yarn is a little brighter and a bit lighter weight than I expected, but it’s knitting up beautifully!! I frogged the first pair of socks I started (different pattern) because I was getting horrible ladders with magic loop and I just wasn’t paying attention so I kept messing up the repeats. SO I decided to do the KAL with this lovely yarn and to tackle my fear of DPNs, and so far it’s awesome!!

8/2/13:
I’m about 1 1/2 repeats through the first sock, and I love how this is knitting up. The pattern is super simple so far, and really easy to follow/memorize.

8/4/13:
I just turned the heel on the first sock, and it’s going great. My gauge seems a bit off from when I swatches, but I think it will work out (I hope). I’m loving this yarn, a/nd I can’t wait until I get my next hank!

8/5/13:
After trying it on and weighing the remaining yarn, I’m 90% sure that I will not have enough to finish both socks :( I frogged all the way back to take out one repeat and I’m starting the heel turn again at this point.

8/13/13:
The good news is that I just started the toe decreases on the first sock, and with 10g of yarn left for this one, I’m sure I’ll have enough for the second sock! What a relief.

8/19/13:
Woo hoo! My second pair of socks is done and I love them!
