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 Evil or Very Mad

I feel very dishearted & coudl cry buckets loads - they r coming up smaller as im trying the 2 circs method & didnt swatch beforehand Sad

WAHHHHHHHHHHH

I think they will have to be frogged but dont have the heart to at present Sad

what a shame, nice colour though. I find I knit slightly tighter on 2 circs as well.

I knit more loosely on circs too Confused But I guess it'd be dull if we all knitted exactly the same! Laughing

But Rosie, that's such a shame that you might have to frog again Sad YOu might be OK though, fingers crossed!

That is lovely yarn, really bright and cheerful. And it's a lovely looking sock Very Happy

Sorry to hear about your sizing problems. Sad 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.
