Notes

25-03-2022

I’m going to knit to 5.5” from heel to start of toe decreases given my gauge / stretch of fabric on US0 needles being less than that knit on US1 needles.

I’ve got 56g of yarn and, according to the math, I should be able to do the socks without doing a contrast toe. I have only done a contrast heel on this pair.

Also, per first sock, do 2 rounds of the white colourway, following the 4th blue stripe after the heel, before starting to decrease for toe.

28-03-2022

In the end, I was able to make this pair with contrast heel only and I have 8g of the original 100g left, after 2 pairs of socks (see A Simple Sock 66). This yarn is very light-weight / slim which is how, I suppose, it has gone so far. I’ll keep the remains for mending.

  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.
