I had so much fun knitting the traveling twisted stitches in my Drachenschwingen socks that I decided to pick another really fun and complicated-ish pattern. (Though, I did take a little break in between!)
I've been on a big Cookie A kick lately, so I decided to go with her awesome Nebula pattern. The charts were fairly easy to memorize, but you do need to pay close attention to the pattern. Can't completely zone out while you knit these. Still, a very fun knit indeed!

notes
- The only note I have is that I started knitting these on bamboo dpns and the tips were way too dull to manage the traveling twisted stitches. I switched to my super pointy Knit Picks nickel plated circs and worked the pattern in magic loop. Made all the difference in the world!
