Dashing Dachs - Up the Leg

The leg is finished. The yarn has continued to stripe as I expected from doing the cuff. If I was going to use this yarn again, I might move down to 2.0 needles. I tend to be a loose knitter, as many Continental knitters are, so I use smaller needles than many - for instance, if a pattern calls for 2.5 mm needles, I use 2.25 without thinking about it - and my goal in this series was to use the same needle so I could compare the firmness of the sock.

This yarn has a very soft hand and good lustre and I am tempted to use another skein of it for a scarf.

More knitting tomorrow. For today it's off to work.
