Not a Fan of Bamboo

I keep telling myself to give away my bamboon DPNs. If the air is at all humid or my hands are damp or sweaty, the needles get sticky. Sticky needles make for tighter knitting. In this instance, the result was sock #1 being a bit larger/looser than sock #2, 3g worth. I could tell the difference, especially when I turned the socks inside out to weave in the ends at the toes, but my SO says he can't, that the socks feel fine. Still.



The pattern is "Men's Grey Socks," free from Lion Brand. I used the recommended Wool-Ease, which feels kind of icky after working with Cascade 220, but I'm stash-busting. I also "clarified" the pattern and will publish my "adjustments" once I have verified them with a second pair, which I have already started. These are in "Oxford Grey" while the next pair will be in "Rose Heather" and are for me.

I do like knitting socks in worsted weight yarn, though. Takes no time at all!
