Too Big...Rip...Just Right!



Well, I was wrong about the gauge, especially after throwing in the pattern. My first attempt at this sock was too big. I reduced it from 50 stitches around (my initial gauge of 7 stitches an inch) to 42 stitches around (real gauge of 6 stitches an inch).

I had an easier time with the short-row toe using this yarn over the rainbow yarn. Maybe I've learned to loosen up my wraps a bit. I do think this yarn is more tightly spun, so it's harder to split.
