Date started: 4/11/07
Date finished: 5/1/07
Lesson Learned: Go with first instinct on needle size.
Destination: my feet!
* I started with size 3 dpn’s, but when I got to the stockinette stitch I didn’t like how loose the fabric looked. I ripped back to the end of the cuff, switched to size 1 dpn’s and increased the stitch count.
** CO 64 with size 3. Knit 2″ in K2P2. Switch to size 1 and increase one stitch every other row until there are 72 stitches. 7″ leg, stockinette heel with garter edge and 8″ foot before toe decreases.
I was starting to sweat near the end of the these socks, but I won this round of the ‘is there enough yarn?’ game.
