TOUGH & TOASTY!

 Well the confusion on the pattern was all me-the second one flew off the needles!
I wore them for sleep last night;

PATTERN-is TOUGH & TOASTY by Martina Behm.
YARN- fingering Bare Hare by KnitPicks  (and I have enough to make another pair!)
SIZE-large because the medium was too small !

(I want to experiment with worsted weight yarn on #5 needles for a man's size (Bill expressed an interest, too)
