Notes

Casted on 84 sts for 15rds of 4x4 rib. About 2” into the leg pattern, I decided that this was too large, so tore back and restarted with 72 STS, keeping ribbing at 15 Rds.

This has been extremely slow going. I got about 3” in on 72 sts & felt that it was still too large. Restarted with only 63 and that is much better.

Also decided that since the Zauberball Crazy had quite a bit of color varigations going on that I was fine with just using it as colors 2 & 3, rather than knitting this with 3 different colors, as the pattern describes.
