Project Notes

I made these fellows identical.. well as close to identical as I could. Post blocking, the 4x2 rib relaxed and looked very sock shaped. The yarn is Opal Lollipop and it was yarn that I purchased on my trip to Austria, last September. I thought that I might had avoided the yarn barf, but no luck I had to untangle about 20 meters to finish this sock.

Pre-blocking we obviously had a very stretchy sock, that pulled in and looked less pretty.

I wet these and gave them a few yanks but they still didn't look nice.
