Okay. Summary on the first sock. The pattern is written well. Only thing, no gauge given. I didn’t think twice about it at first because I only cast on 66 sts & that should be fine. But with the open lace work they stretch! A lot. Unfortunately for me, I have little ankles & skinny, skinny feet. So they are a tad big. DOn’t ask me for them, I am keeping them!! You know who you are….

The yarn is heaven to knit with although the k3tog’s are making me a little grumpy sometimes. SO on the second sock I will be using a sl2k1psso instead. It will change the look a little bit by giving it a ridge but it will be easier to actually do than the k3tog. Actually to get  it to look almost identical all I would have to do is slip the first two stitches individually as if to knit instead of slipping them both together as if to knit. That is the plan & I will post pics to compare the differences.
