Notes

This is significantly too big for me with the pattern as written; I ended up making serious revisions which I’ll probably publish as its own pattern.

July 28, 2016

Had set these aside after getting confused about why I had too many stitches on the 2nd repeat of the lace row…realized I’d read it wrong. :(

So I tinked back 3.5 rows and kinda started over.

I love this pattern. I’m almost certain it’s too big for my ankles, and I don’t know what to do about it. :\

August 1, 2016

Calculated decreases (see photo of notes) and went down to 56 stitches, which seems about right.

August 4, 2016

Started heel flap on slightly rearranged stitches to get the full 1/2-width. Will need to reset after the turn to get the pattern right again.

August 5, 2016

For heel turn row 1: sl1, k15, ssk, k1, turn.
Continue as written
Last row is RS, ending with 15 stitches.

August 10, 2016

Starting toe decreases after a row 6 of the pattern.

Cast on 2nd sock!

August 12, 2016

Tore out first cast-on, because it was awful. 2nd cast on going much better. Note: knitted cast-on, per http://www.knitty.com/ISSUEsummer05/FEATsum05TT.html

August 22, 2016

Into the gusset. Have been documenting the alterations; some minor differences between the two socks, but I think maybe they can be reconciled for a final version?
