Notes

My 100th project entered in Ravelry!

CO 72 in fingering yarn on US 2.5 needle (not really on purpose) then switched to US 1.5 needle. No alterations to the charts but to do the left sock, I k6 and then work the chart.

Made the leg as tall as DH’s dress socks since these are for my dad. I think they were about 8” in the leg before the heel. (I guess I could always measure them…)

Used 36 sts on the heel. Followed the same decreases as in the pattern, just took more of them, though my row gauge was short enough to make up the difference.

Also used 4gish of woolly nylon. Forgot to weigh the first ball of main yarn I used, but used 88/90g from the second ball. (Yardage estimated from weight)
