I stand corrected.
Mmmm, I was a little quick to judge yesterday, when I compained about Handknit Holidays not giving meters and grams in the yarn descriptions, only yards and ounces. As it turns out, after I took a closer look at the other patterns and not just the one I am making, I found they just list the yarn details as they come with the yarn. If the manufacturer gives yards and ounces, so does the book. The same goes for meters and grams, I even noticed a combination of yards and grams. So it's convertion time for all of us!
The over the knee socks are coming along fine, especially since I spend another day on the couch.
Maartje asked about the color of the yarn: It's Lana Grossa Meilenweit 6 fach color no. 7.
I hope my adaptions to the pattern will turn out alright. I didn't use any calculations, which I should have of course, but I'm just going with my gut feeling. So I did the 'shape thigh' part according to the pattern, I extended the straight part after that (instead of 25 rows I did 35). Now I'm at the calf part, where it tells you to decrease every 6 rows, so I'm going with every 8 rows. When it comes to knitting, I don't mind taking a risk!
