Notes

5/1 Toe, heel, calf medallion in gray. Toe and heel are short row.

Foot has 5 repeats in first 2 colors, 1 repeat in 3rd color. Leg colors has 3 repeats of each color, starting with 3rd color, for 9 repeats total.

5/2 Finished second repeat of 3rd color on leg and am loving it! I really think I might actually get these done by the 7th!

5/5 Just could not get the hang of the calf medallion, so I abandoned it. It just was not looking right on the shape of my leg. Followed the increase V for the first 32 rows of the top gray (4 lace repeats), then switched to ribbing. Not going to have this done by the 7th, but that’s okay. :-) I’m really enjoying the process and lace doesn’t seem so daunting now.

5/11 Finished the second sock. Messed up the back increases but I’m so sick of this pattern that I’m not going back to fix it. Maybe someday, if it bothers me. Which I doubt it will. ;-)

They are really comfortable and fit perfectly! I think I may make them again in a solid color and keep them as my car project. This time, I might just make them the full length and tackle the back lace panel now that I know what I’m doing.
