This is my second Lovenote - and this time I worked the “Regular” body length for a total of 9” at the underarm seam (not including the extra length in the back)

Using Emma’s yarn for a size M took 165g of sock and 81g of Mohair - an average of 642m of both.

I’ve finished off all of the ribbing with a sewn tubular bind off because it is pretty and stretchy! I did not work any additional decreases at the neckline but adjusted the tension of the sewn bind off until I got the look I wanted. Its a bit of a fiddle (and not recommended if you hate Kitchener stitch) but it is the most easily adaptable way I have found to change the width of the neckline without having to reknit or rip back.

As with my first Lovenote, the addition of the mohair yarn does soften the more vibrant tones in the sock. Its interesting to see the colours blend together like watercolours.
