Daily fiber therapy - the confessions of a knitting geek.

It's about darn time.
If my sidebar can be trusted, this is my first finished object in five months. (It can't quite be believed, as I finished Sockapaloooza socks in late April.)



Pattern: Thuja by Bobby (Dear Bobby - Pick something pronouncable next time. Love, Tipper)

Yarn: Artyarns Supermerino in color 112 (I think), 2 skeins.

Needles: size 4 US

Modifications: None, though I didn't exactly look at the pattern beyond finding out how to do the nifty rib.

Notes: Two skeins ended up being just right for my size 8 1/2 feet, with a teensy bit of each skein left over. I could've gotten another inch per sock, somewhere, but I'm happy with 'em the way they are. I started out with size 6 needles, as requested in the pattern, but that was wayyyy too loose for me. Size 4 was just right. I have no idea what my gauge is. All I care is that they fit, and they do, very well.

Also, this yarn is luscious. If only I could afford enough for a whole sweater.

As is tradition, I slapped 'em on my feet immediately.
