Notes

This is quite a fine fingering that grips quite a bit while knitting (it’s a strange hand I’ve not worked with before). As such, I’ve got to focus on keeping my tension from getting too tight. That’s something I never say!

One sock takes a mere 27g - the beauty of very slim yarn!

11-10-2020

In total I used 55g or ~28g per sock. This leaves me with 48 g or 24g per sock for the next pair. I believe that I’ll be able to get away with only doing the heel in a contrast yarn but may also need to do part of the toe decrease section since I’m almost 4g short per sock…
