Notes

Let the secret Christmas knitting begin!

I was searching sock patterns, and I had forgotten about all those Sock Bug patterns that I love! I found them archived, and digital, and well…YAY!

Mods:
I need to cast on at least 80 sts for these feet, and the pattern is over 8 sts (k5, p3 based), so it looks like 80 sts it is! (I love it when a plan comes together!)
Rib (k2, p1, k2, p3) x 10 = 80 - 12 rounds.
Work one round k5, p3 around.
Start pattern, work 7 reps/56 rnds (69 rnds total).
When crossing sts, knit 2nd st TBL.
(Note to self: this cuff is too short, but I should get two complete socks for 100grams…)
Heel on 40 sts.

Work 88 rows (incl. gusset).
Decrease to 12+12, graft closed.

11/6/12 - One sock complete!
11/21/12 - Second sock grafted closed this morning!!! Yay! Onto the other super-secret knitting! Can she get it all finished in time? Yes! She can!
