Weekend FO


My second Wonderwool kit, finished! With enormous thanks to Kat for doing the Kitchener for me. Feeling quite pleased with myself, especially as knitting almost never gets done in the month of June. I am now well past the total knitted for 2018 and we're only halfway. Go me.

Pattern: Peeky Catsocks (link is to the kit I bought)
Yarn: Coopknits Sock Yeah! DK - the kit came with a skein of each colour and there's probably enough light grey and yellow left for another pair
Needle: 3.75mm - I used DPNs in a fit of nostalgia
Mods: Nothing intentional, but the toes are meant to match the cuffs...oops

These worked up really quickly, in spite of the slightly fiddly colourwork-on-DPNs vibe. I had to rip back the first cuff and thereafter followed the pattern advice to knit them inside out, allowing a bit more room in the floats.

They really need blocking but Mr Z put them on as soon as I gave them to him, so it might be a while yet.
