Notes

So, yeah. Two at a time? Why not.

It all stems from my issues getting a matching gauge on the second sock of my first toe-up magic loop pair. So, the second sock got frogged, and is now waiting until I see how this goes. LOL

Crafting ADD, I has it.

Believe it or not, these socks are from the same colorway of yarn, but different lot numbers. Shows the variation, doesn’t it? The lighter one is lot #1639, and the darker is #1633. Yes, I am making more work for myself by not using two balls of one lot or the other. I have so many WIPs/UFOs right now, I hardly think it matters. LOL

12-28-14: Cast on 48 stitches, increased to 56 stitches by K1F&B in the first stitch and the next-to-last stitch on each needle; toes done, starting pattern from November socks

1-10-15: 4 pattern repeats completed; starting gusset increase as per the Mash-Up Magic Toe-Up “recipe.” Increasing 2 stitches on each odd-numbered row (by K1F&B in the first stitch and the next-to-last stitch) on Needle 2 until 16 stitches increased (on Row 15, or row 3 on the 6th pattern repeat).

1-11-15: Starting heel increase on sock #1. Completed Row 5 of pattern on the instep before focusing on heel.

1-23-15: heels completed on both socks, and working my way up the legs. Looks like these are fixing to be a size Small (US women’s size 5-6).

6-12-15: FINALLY cast off on the second of the two socks. Still have to work in the ends and wash/block, but for all intents and purposes, they’re done. :)
