Notes

Love the chart. I’ve made these socks before, but with a solid red foot instead of the double flames. Of course then I couldn’t see the flames when wearing jeans, so I decided to reknit them. Also put the flames a bit higher on the leg second time around as they just didn’t quite completely make it above my sneaker before.

I’m getting better at stranded knitting I think. First time around one sock was a lot tighter around the flame part, these seem to be much better.

Of course now my friend wants a new pair as well.
