I really love this pattern, and the results of the sockyarn experiment (in the course of which I had to figure out the details of the thumb gusset and how to get the fingers to grow nicely out of the pattern) were encouraging enough that I thought I'd give it another go in merino. (Much softer on the skin, merino.)
So here they are. I'm pleased to be able to report that the notes I jotted down while doing the first pair seem to be accurate and reproducible, with the result that knitting the second pair was
much less stressful than the first. :)
