Notes

11.05.2016

Kicking off with a tubular cast on . The yarn seems to be giving a nice stitch definition so far.

Trying out my new 20cm Addi Circs. These things are teeny I’ve got small hands but these mini needles make me feel all sausage fingered !

I’m keeping a thin tapestry needle to hand as very handy for rescuing any stitches that drop.

Second Sock Syndrome has struck. Cast on for the second sock over two weeks ago, but not got past the ribbing.

09.07.2016

Gritted my teeth and finished off the second sock. Once the heel is turned on these the foot really does fly by quite quickly, but getting there can be slow going.

I’ve got short feet so only needed to work 3 repeats of the chart after gusset shaping (48 rows). I ended up with just a couple of grams or so to spare from each ball/sock. It may be worth having extra yarn on hand (foot ?) if you are knitting for a more average size foot. Those little cables really do eat up the yarn.
