Notes

31 May
I as a bit concerned that this wasn’t going to work when I started out, but this is fabulous. I do have a bit of a reverse ladder (slightly snugger stitches where there is the yarn swapping) but I imagine that will even out at blocking as it did on socks I did with magic loop or with two circs.

First sock is ready to turn the heel. Turning on the second half of the row with the marker. 6 sts left of the cut yarn.

05 Jun
No longer being sick has really decreased my knitting time! This is taking a while. I’m almost done with the first sock but haven’t managed to cast on for the second one.
