Notes

Getting 9 spi for gauge with this yarn.

When I gave these to my SIL she immediately threw off her heels and tried them on (and we were in a fancy restaurant!). Then I heard through the in-law grapevine that she was going on and on about them while out to dinner one night. Then this weekend I heard her say to someone at a party, “Omigod, there is nothing like those handknitted socks.” I hear she wears them incessantly. Score one for team knitted socks!
