Seattle Dragon Socks!
Pattern: The Keyboard Biologist Knits' Here There Be Dragon Socks (Upscale version)
Yarn: Koigu purchased during my visit to Seattle in May. This was my first time knitting with Koigu and it was such a great experience that I went out and bought some more :)
Needles: 2.75mm dpns. I preferred the upscaled version of the pattern but was worried that it would be too small so I went up a needle size.
Pattern thoughts: This was a really well-written pattern. I don't usually pay for patterns but this one was totally worth it. Theresa did a great job mapping everything out, with detailed instructions and multiple charts. It was a really enjoyable knit. I especially liked the way the pattern was carried into the heel and toe. It was a very special touch.
Modifications: The twisted German cast-on overwhelmed me so I opted for a longtail cast-on. It does roll at the top which Theresa says it will not do with cotton yarns but I don't care.
Heel detail
P.S. This is formal because I posted it on knitting but I thought I should share the Dragony love :)
