Sockotta Fair Isle Socks Completed

I've completed my Sockotta Fair Isle socks.  They are a cotton/wool/nylon blend and I like the way the Fair Isle pattern turned out.  I used my size 0 Addi Bamboo dpns with a gauge of 9 sts and 12 rows to the inch on 72 sts.  I managed to squash one of the needles and bend it a bit.  I straightened it out the best I could and it works okay.  I did return to using my DPN work in progress tube and it was very helpful in preventing further needle mishaps.  I initially thought they were a little pricey, but I am very glad to have them now.  I predict these socks will be very comfortable for the summer.

I am still alive in Sock Wars and I have "killed" my target.  I did receive a message from my assassin over the weekend that I am "on notice", so I'm not sure how much longer I will be alive.

I'm so sorry to hear about your needle! I'm glad it wasn't damaged beyond repair. That little cardboard tube sounds like it's really coming in handy!!

Yikes! Using metal needles has its advantages.

The socks look great!
