Notes

It is a bit chilly around my kidneys, so I decided to knit a Haramaki style kidney warmer in simple 2x2 ribbing with sockyarn held doubled.

Will use the cast on figures from the skirt linked as a guideline and hope this will fit.

Change of plan - found two leftover balls of Drops Flora in my stash which I will use double-threaded - just have to remember not to wash them in the machine and spin on highest cycle….

Also casted on 140 stitches and decreased to 136 after some rows as it seemed to be too big.

Finished during our Saturday knitting circle in Café Rieberg. Fits well, could even be a little tighter, might get away with 132 stiches. But I will “test wear” it first to see what improvements I could make for my next one.

Okay after a week of wear: Like the warmth, also the length (about 27 cm) is fine, but it could fit a little tighter.
So for my next one (yes, I think there will be more!) I will probably go down a needle size and maybe also cast on just 132 stitches. Could be a tad longer as well.
