Notes

02.10.2011
Started the isetegija.net Soctober knit-along. Using 2 self striping yarns intermittently- hoping for really fun socks. As one of the yarns started in different place than the other the socks will be different- I hope in a cute way (instead of “why are you wearing socks from different pairs” way).

Almost knee-high. Lovely for winter.

My first try of i-cord BO. Love it. I constantly have a problem with socks started at toes, the the bind off around my calf is too stiff, although the sock itself is comfy and snug. The i-cord made a lot of difference!
