Excited to try this designers pattern & try my 1st MKAL for socks
2AAT on 2.5mm, magic loop, then changed to 2.25mm for heel & foot, kept 2.5mm on top of foot, 2 circular needles.

2Nov : up to heels, & I think I may have messed the instructions for it but I like the textured look:
33 sts
R1 : S1 * k1,S1* to 2 last sts, k2
R2 : S1, purl to end
R3 :S1, * S1, k1* to end
R4 :S1, purl to end
Repeat these rows for the 24 rows suggested in pattern

Ended just using 2.25mm as the textured pattern was very stretchy.
New techniques was the dutch heel (or textured dutch heel?) & the rounded toe - don’t think this style of toe suits me as too much room for little toe.
For grafting I used the knitting needle method used by TECHknitting -easier way to Kitchener stitch
