Notes

Making these up in my very luxurious McClellan. I love the color, and the pattern blended the color really well without any real pooling issues. I did use two skeins, and I used first for both legs, then changed to second for both ankle/foot sections, blending by alternating a few rounds around the ankle section. (This fended off pooling even further.
Mods: I did add a full repeat of lace before working heel to lengthen them a bit for my longer than average legs. I put a little extra elastic in the rib to keep them up properly too. In retrospect, I might have added a repeat before shaping rather than after to make the leg fit looser and not want to pull down. Next pair!
