Notes

I intend to knit Shorties this month, but had these socks been full sized they would have met the following challenges. The leg/cuffs were 2-7/8” and the socks counted as full size, so were eligible for prizes.

Sock Knitters - Widen Your Horizons - designer from NL
Socks from Stash - Ganseys, UAP
Solid Socks - Neutral Color
FGF Socks - Neutral Color
Everlasting - Favorite Color

This yarn, Zimba Top, is quite robust and next time I’ll use a larger needle - at least 2.75mm. Will also give 3.0mm a try.

OMG!! I won THREE prizes for this yarn! I won a skein of sock yarn in Everlasting Sock Challenge and another indie-dyed skein in Sock Knitters, and a free pattern in Socks from Stash! Wowza!
