Tried to knit this yarn with the Short Row Shuffle Socks pattern, but the color repeats didn’t really look much different than knitting this in plain stockinette stitch. It was a lot more effort for little effect.

Now I’m just letting it do its own spiral thing. I tried knitting two at a time for the first time. I’m knitting a row and then knitting 4 purling 1 in the next. Making them my size.

Guessed wrong on the heel and it came out a bit too pointy, which caused a bump or ridge to stick out when I tried them on. I unwove the yarn back to where the heel turned so I can reknit it again. Then I’ll have to Kitchener stitch it back together.

Remade the heels. Had to weave the corners at the sides together though because I miscalculated. Oh well. I think they’ll still work ok.

Addendum: After wearing these socks and handwashing them they are starting to get a little felted. Not treating them harshly, so no idea why it is happening.
