Oh wow! They are going to be beautiful and 2 of my favourite colours 💜look forward to seeing them finished. 🥰x

@@teresa275 It is a beautiful pattern……just wish i could get my gauge right. Starting again today 😊

Colours are great. Socks never fit me if I try them on while still on the needle, I use a Barbara cord or waste yarn to try on. Also it looks like the rib is tight on your foot before you even get to the colour work section 🤔 so may have to go up to an even bigger needle size??? If gauge isn't met it won't fit, so don't worry about what size needle you need to increase to, if it works for you it doesn't matter! You will get there and find your groove xx

@@nicolafurey7084 thank you for your great feedback. I suppose the ribbing stretch’s quite a way so it’s not as noticeable if it’s off gauge. 😊

Have you thought about doing them in sport weight? I know as a loose knitter I either have to go down needle sizes or down yarn weight, maybe it would work the other way too. As well, are you pushing your stitches so they are well spread out before you knit them? This is the reason I like using DPNs so that you can really spread the stitches out. I’ll go watch your next video so I can see what you ended up doing:)

@@ajborthwick7239 it never even crossed my mind to go up in yarn weight 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@debraschneider7702]

Just an idea. But would it maybe fit if you put a yarn lifeline in and removed the needle.

@@debraschneider7702 I’m not sure but its well worth trying that before frogging 😊
