Notes

2 inch 2x2 ribbed cuff.
Leg texture pattern is the following
(K round, 2X2 rib round) twice
Purl Round

Repeat this 5 row set over and over for an interesting textured broken rib pattern.

Top down, heel flap and gusset, probably will do slip stitch or eye of partridge heel.

I ended up starting the heel flap a little too soon to use up all the yarn (chickened out!). So when the sock was finished I snipped the cast on edge and put the live stitches back on the needle to continue the ribbing, knitting up. The stitches are off by half a stitch, so I can see where the stitches were picked up, but it isn’t very noticeable with the variegation in color. I plan to double the ribbing length to 4 inches to make the leg of the sock more like the usual sock length that I use. I’d like to use up almost all of the yarn.

Ended up using so much of the yarn that I had to unravel the swatch I used when I entered this yarn in the fair. Score!!!
