Notes

My plan was to make the Temperance Socks with this yarn but it was just not working out they way I wanted so I turned to More Sensational Knit Socks and really like how it’s turning out.

st gauge: 10st/inch
row gauge:
ball of foot: 9.5 inches

1/27 cast on for both socks
1/28 Tried to make the Temperance Socks work but decided to do the this one instead. Had to frog back on one of the socks because of a un-needed yarn over. So I need to increase back up to 72 sts.
3/29 Took a break on these socks but they are finally done. The yarn is very soft but also splity so I don’t know if I’d use it again.
