Notes

Holy cow - Finally time to finish these. Easy peasy and fit like a glove. Love them!

October 25 - One sock is done!! Picture coming soon. I started to get a little bit worried about having enough yarn for this sock…so I stopped with 1 pattern repeat left and weighed both the sock and the yarn - both weighed exactly 71g. So, I cut the yarn and attached a lovely brown overdyed skein of koigu which I will do the last repeat and toe of both socks with. I tried the first finished sock on and I love how it looks. Fits perfectly. Going to cast on Sock 2 tonight.

Sept 26 - Working on the gusset decreases of sock 1 and I am loving how this knits up. The yarn is beautiful, as is the pattern. These will be awesome socks.
August 23 - this is such a quick, fun knit. I am a couple of pattern repeats into the flutter-byes and they are adorable. The erratta is a necessity on this one - just to make sure that you stagger the butterflies and don’t line them up - unless you want to. The slip stitches and holding yarn at the front makes this pattern go by so quickly. The yarn is perfect for this - I think this is an awesome pattern for highly variegated yarns.
August 18 - off to ball wind the yarn!
