Since these were mostly finished some time ago and were simply put on hold for other things, I won't rehash the details. But I will add that I had a disappointing amount of "ladders" for the stitches between the DPNs (and they stubbornly followed me into a current project). I know that it has to do with my tension and that made it a bit more aggravating when none of my attempts to adjust it would remedy the problem while knitting. Apparently, though, this is where I'm not a perfectionist. -- I just let it go and figured it would eventually even out with washing and/or wear -or- I'll just go back with a needle later and pick the offending stitches to one side or another to make them more even.
In hindsight, the gauge for these socks is probably a bit too loose, too (whether that contributed to the "ladders" or not), but I'm still very happy with them. It is the summery time of year where I can't bear the thought of wearing socks, though, so they're going to have to patiently wait their turn to jump into the rotation when the weather is cold enough again.
