Notes

I really liked this project. I used way less Silk Garden Sock than I thought I would, so have just under half of it left. The MC is some undyed sock yarn that I got in a swap a long time ago. I didn’t mean to block points into it - need to invest in some blocking wires one of these days.

Didn’t worry about the whole xAB xBA or whatever - it was just drop old colour, pick up new colour and make sure it tucks under. You can see in the second last photo it works out. I changed how I picked up my wraps about 3/4 of the way - pick up the wrap the same but go back into the stitch through the back. Or something. I’m still not too savvy on short rows.

It took me about 13-14 minutes to do each wedge - so average like a minute a row :) I probably could have squeezed out one more wedge, but I was over it and ended up with 79 wedges. Was nice to end on an odd number, and definitely wouldn’t have had enough to do two more.

Oh, and no knots in my SGS ;)
Very enjoyable knit.
