Notes

A Test Knit for Olivia.

My #5 for the BoxOsoxKAL

Naming these after Queenie Turrill, a beekeeper, and my favorite character on the BBC series Lark Rise to Candleford. :)

February 23, 2016

arranged stitches across 3 needles:: 24, 16, 24 for a total of 64 st cast on

Did 3 full repeats of chart on leg before beginning heel work. At my gauge on 2.0 mm needles this worked out to be 6 inches from cast on edge to just before heel work.

Also, I worked 3 1/2 repeats of the chart for the instep before switching to CC for the toes.

Used 30.5 g of MC yarn and only 3 g of CC yarn on first sock
