Notes

1-6-15

I started the Pixie Dust pattern on the instep 10 rows after the toe finished.

1-14-15

The scrap yarn for the heel is after row 64. I did the instep stitches of row 65, knitted across the heel with scrap yarn and then went back and knitted across that again with the main yarn.

2-5-15

First sock body done with 7 pattern repeats and 182 rows. I did 12 rows of ribbing for the cuff and Jeny’s Surprisingly Stretchy Bind Off.

4-18-15

Second sock done. Just heels left!

4-20-15

Finished the heels yesterday; they look awful and fit worse. I am ripping them out and putting this project to bed until I have some other Felici yarn to do a different heel.

10-11-2017

All done. I couldn’t really pick out the first heel so I just left it and did another of the After(fore)thought heel. They look shitty but are done!
