So I was working on these socks this afternoon and thinking “man, this gauge is really tight, what needle size am I using? And why?” Well, I was using a 2.25 mm (US 1). The pattern calls for. 2.5 mm, which is also labeled as a US 1, although Ravelry calls it a US 1.5. I frogged and started over and it is so much easier to work, and it fits better. This time when I did the Latvian braid I didn’t bother with casting on the extra stitch at the start. I just worked the first stitch, put it back on the left hand needle and then knit in to the back of the second stitch and then into the first stitch. Rinse, repeat.
