\nDone!<\/center><\/p>\n

Pattern: Crusoe from Knitty<\/a>
\nYarn: Koigu KPPPM, colorway P123 dye lot 231. It looks like P123 varies<\/a> widely<\/a> from skein<\/a> to skein.<\/a>
\nNeedles: #1 DPN
\nGauge: 7 sts per inch<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/a>Changes: I mainly wear long pants, and thought that the rolled cuff in the original pattern might be too bulky under my jeans. I changed it to a k2p2 ribbing. I also cast on 64 stitches instead of the recommended 48 and adjusted all the math accordingly.<\/p>\n

Notes: I started #1 in November and worked on it intermittently. They were both carried around in my purse while I worked on them, and they’ve already fuzzed up some. Last summer I knitted my mom some socks<\/a> out of Koigu, and looking at them a couple of months ago, they’re also fuzzing up some inside the heel and on other areas of wear. Those were knitted on 3’s, and I thought a tighter gauge this time might help, but apparently not. Is this just a characteristic of Koigu, a result of being toted around for too long, or some other mystery factor that I’m introducing?<\/p>\n

<\/a>Fuzzing aside, the yarn is very soft. I nearly wiped out walking on my kitchen floor when I put them on. Also, I’m seriously considering a trip to the Wide Shoe Warehouse to pick up some really colorful pedal-pusher type sneakers to show these off.<\/p>\n

The pattern was clear and easy, and the author is right that this is a good use for super-bright or busy sock yarns to help break them up a bit. I’d knit these again.
