Ostetaan: Kiltti / Wanted: a Kilt

Iih, mulla on aivan ihanat pinkit kilttisukat! Olin hieman skeptinen että mahtuuko näihin kontteihin muka polvisukka jossa on aloitussilmukkamäärä on 78 mutta totesin sukkaa tehdessäni että Nancy on jumala, kyllä Nancy tietää! Sillä nämä sukat istuu mun jalkaan kuin valetut! Tein 2,5mm puikoilla, ohjeessa on käytetty 2mm puikkoja ja luulen että kakkosilla olisi tullut liian tiukat sukat.

These socks are perfect! I hade some doubts about them fitting me since Nancy tells you to cast on only 78 sts which seemed to be too few. But as I have noticed before, Nancy knows and I just need to do as she tells me to! I knitted my socks with 2,5mm dpns instead of 2mm dpns. I think that if I had used smaller needles, the socks would be too tight. But now their just perfect!

Edit! My sockapaloozapartner Corinne has got her socks today!

"Thank you for the beautiful socks. I love them! So much so that when I
got the package this morning on my way out the door (it was delivered
through my landlord's window as that is right next to my front door), I
immediately ran back upstairs, changed my outfit, so I could wear my boots
with my new socks. (luckily San Francisco tends to be cool in August so I
can wear knee socks & boots).

I love the contrast of the pink with my black boots! And the heels fit me
perfectly. This is my first pair of handknit socks & I love them! :)"

I'm really happy that the socks fit and that Corinne likes them!
