Notes

Using Fabel sock in Navy blue and it’s working out well. My row count is higher but I am going by measurements. About to turn the heel soon so then I’ll know if it has worked out like I was hoping. Fingers crossed.

07-10-2021 One stocking almost done!

Finally got to the top of the first stocking. I did 25 rows of rib but I think I’m going to rip back a bit and make it a little looser, I do want it tight enough to hold the sock up but it feels a bit too tight!

08-01-2021 Finished rib with sewn bind off

Decided to do 2.5” of rib with 1.5 (2.5mm) needles and a nice, stretchy sewn bind off that always looks very tidy. https://www.knitfreedom.com/blog/invisible-ribbed-bind-off/
