Notes

Decided to make these at 64st for Gillian - using fish lips kiss heel. I stopped at 4.75” from the end of the heel / beginning of the foot. I think this will fit her foot. When I make these again for myself, I’m going to do a 60st CO, go down to 56st for leg, heel and foot, and make the foot 5” in length (check for size at that point…)

KristinM100's adjectives for this yarn
  1. Incredibly strong (I reckon it will be durable)
  2. So unpleasant to knit with (like string, no drape, no softness)
  3. Somehow both hairy and slippery

KristinM100's adjectives for this yarn
  1. Beautifully dyed
  2. Very sturdy (even though I'd call this a light fingering)
  3. There's a lot of lanolin in the yarn and it's quite tightly spun and rustic, so there's more friction than you might imagine. Could be easier on arthritic hands but it does keep one's hands soft!
