The Chevalier is modeling the completed Touch of Twist sock knitted from a pattern given out in the goodie bag at the Spring Men's Knitting Retreat. The Viscount found the recommended needle size too large (size 5) and he switched to a 2.5. He will probably bring it down to a 2 if he knits it again. He really likes the sock pattern. It is a tube sock, so there isn't any fiddling with any gusset or heal turn. The pattern is really fun and the sock is quite lovely. It knit up quite quickly using a soft alpaca yarn. The Viscount is in the midst of the gusset of the official men's knitting retreat sock.
