Ms Grundy again

About a month ago, I ordered sourdough starter from Amazon. I started it, fed it, etc. I made waffles from the discard, and Jerry said they were the best he's ever tasted. I made bread. Dense, chewy, but (minimally) edible. I continued to feed, discard, etc. I made waffles again. Again delicious. I made bread again. Again dense, but (maybe) better(?) Today I tried the Pantry Mama discard sandwich bread recipe. I made several mistakes. I added honey. It was an amazingly soft dough. It rose so much that it overflowed the pans onto the baking stone while rising, and then when I removed them to clean up the mess, they fell. So I punched them down and let them rise a third time. Apparently, they're OK - they taste good.

I used 3 balls of Mayflower Sockwool to make 4 socks, with just a smidge left over. Again, I modified the pattern. It included a lacy twist to the left. When I did the second sock, I changed it to a lacy twist to the right.

 

The pattern loosens up nicely with a rinsing.  Feb sock along for FB group What-the-heel pattern is over 72 st. decreased to 64 after heel and gusset

 

The seller of this yarn provides a photo of this yarn made up into a knee-sock. Comes with a free sock pattern. NOT, to be sure, a knee-sock pattern. NOR is there enough yarn to actually make  knee-socks. Comes in a "kit" -  2 balls of yarn - not enough to make knee-socks.

First of all, do these socks look like the provider's picture? No intermingling from one color to the next. Comes with a free sock pattern. NOT, to be sure, a knee-sock pattern. NOR is there enough yarn to actually make  knee-socks. Comes in a "kit" -  2 balls of yarn - not enough to make knee-socks.
