these r my easy ones for June
BUT they r for me again (as Mays ones were too big -im giving them away)
HOWEVER i could scream as they r a bit tight this time
I feel very dishearted & coudl cry buckets loads - they r coming up smaller as im trying the 2 circs method & didnt swatch beforehand
WAHHHHHHHHHHH
I think they will have to be frogged but dont have the heart to at present

what a shame, nice colour though. I find I knit slightly tighter on 2 circs as well. _________________ Ravelry ID ~ ChristinaJL |

I knit more loosely on circs too But I guess it'd be dull if we all knitted exactly the same!
But Rosie, that's such a shame that you might have to frog again YOu might be OK though, fingers crossed!
That is lovely yarn, really bright and cheerful. And it's a lovely looking sock  _________________

Sorry to hear about your sizing problems. I found that when I knitted socks using circs my tension was tighter. I wish they did a 2.75mm addi circ which I think would suit me more than 2.5mm circs. _________________ Hawkesley
