...washed and then accidentally went through the tumble dryer. But a sock! Only did 20 row rib, 20 row leg, then 30 row foot. Both heel and toe ended at 16 needles. Very "fat", but it has adjusted to fit my foot for the photo. Tension was 6 or 7, have taken that down to 5 now.
No more problems than anticipated, heel tension spring performed well after a little tweak. Some resistance in the cams on reversing, but could catch that and raise them by hand. After that I used most of an old cone of sock yarn that was a tad thinner than the WYS , and am just cranking away to get it run in., and the cams seem to be getting used to it. Oiled it heavily, and using a cloth to catch the drips. I will use some of the tubing to make a cover for the old weights. It will crank with one finger on plain tubing.
