Red Katwijer Socks

These have been waiting for some time. I took the yarn to Portugal last winter but didn't get started . Then it travelled to Europe and didn't get started. Finally cast on this July and away we went!!

This is a lovely pattern and easy to memorize. I'll definitely be knitting it again

I had a few adventures with needle size. I started up a size as I know I knit tightly and got gauge but then the cuff was just too tight. So I ripped it all out and went up to 3 mm for the body and 2.75 for the rib.

Then as I should have known, there was not enough yarn in 2 balls of Kroy sock yarn. There were no more in the original dye lot so bought one and used it to finish up the toes. There is a line but as it is well down on the toe of each sock no one will see it
