Before and After
I repaired the toe of a Koigu sock last night.
The new toe looks a little less faded than the old toe (the socks have been washed repeatedly.) Koigu KPPPM, I've decided, is not the ideal choice for socks. Without any nylon content, this sort of wear and tear is to be expected, I'm afraid.
I must be living right. When I finished grafting, I had exactly 7" of yarn left. Don't you just love it when things work out right?

Wow, beautiful grafting. Now that is my official excuse for not learning to make socks- I am going to wait until you can teach me. :P

Adorable photos :-)
Interesting comment about the nylon content, too. I'll pass it along to the person formerly known as Daughter OotFP, now launched as the Tryon Scion.
