First, I've got one white sock done and the 2nd started. I'm still working on the Niebling.
I am about to make a "swatch" with my unspun Icelandic yarn. I just hate the though of making a swatch that will not be able to be taken apart. I've decided on 3 strands to get the 5 wpi, using size 11 needles and hope to get the required 3 sts per inch, before felting. The uncertainty of felting is why I've never done it before. But this year is turning out to be so cold. I want the slippers, some mittens and a hat that are felted. IF it all turns out ok then I'm seriously thinking of making boots! Maybe I'm dreaming! After all, my hands do better with the small needles - less movement.
Once I get the felt down sts and rows per inch I can go from there!
