When you originally knit this, did you YY sockyarn or DK, and what size needles did you use?

Thanks CB, blocking is like, amaYzing man! (said in a hippy way  )
It's Yarn YArd sock yarn, the Aril 2007 i believe 
As for needle size... I'll have to hunt through my old posts, it was 8 months ago and anywhere between a 2.75mm and a 4mm 
Edited t add: I found the old thread and i used a 3.75mm Addi lace needle I do knit loose though and most people use a 4.5mm or 5mm

I think that is beautiful Franney! I never quite get over the magic of blocking
(But I'm easily pleased  ) |
