Christmas stocking swatching redux

[celticdragonfly]

Further swatching notes for Alanna's stocking. The size 10 DPNs, Lion Brand flexible plastic, arrived in the mail. Yay! Big pale blue. Practically drumsticks. Gauge is 16 stitches per 4 inches on the larger size needles, and I swatched it, and it's right on.

So yes, size 10 and 8 instead of 8 and 6.

But first I need to finish this second sock I've started today.
