This yarn is a DREAM!!! Kertzer's On Your Toes Bamboo feels sooooooooo good on the needles AND on my tootsies!!
One thing I learned...the "stretchy" bind-off they suggest SUCKS!!! I did it EXTRA loose and it had absolutely NO give or stretch. So I go to do the thing I LOVE the most... frog. CHIT!!!! Who likes frogging a bind-off?!??!?! NO ONE!!!
Some great friends of mine suggested I try the sewn bind-off. Guess what! It worked like a charm!! That's the only one to use with toe-up socks!! Here's a tutorial with great pictures. If you haven't tried it...you should!
I can't wait to get the other sock finished. I just have the last 3 inches left to do -- lace panel and the cuff. Time to go finish it. YAY!!!
Go Monkey! You rock! Perfect timing...first half of the pair done, halfway through the month! ♥
