Notes

Determine whether to go down to 56st after cuff - probably not given that we’re going to use a US0 the whole way… Update - stayed with 60 st. Consider, when you knit on US0 in future, starting with 64 and then going down to 60 (if the yarn is fine fingering).

Worked till 5.5” given that, on smaller needles with slender yarn, the toe cap will stretch less / there will be more negative ease in this version (vs US1).

Somehow, I suppose because the yarn is quite a light fingering, I only used 44g of the Biscotte - 22g per sock (which is very little yarn for a sock of standard length, heel and part of toe notwithstanding). Each sock took 25g of yarn in total. Usually, a sock of this size would take 32-34g… So this yarn goes a long way.

KristinM100's adjectives for this yarn
  1. Slender fingering (that's rather splitty)
  2. Washer/Dryer Safe
  3. Pills like crazy - quality is not what it was when I first started using this yarn.
