Notes

7/6 Such great video help! These were easy-peasy and a joy to whip up. They would have been done faster if I wasn’t working on a million other projects - the second sock only took a few hours to complete!

I highly recommend verypink.com’s tutorials and this pattern. I honestly feel that I can tackle any socks now. =D

6/28 Sock One - Done-zo!

6/26 So what had happened was…I was powering thru this bad boy while catching up with Burn Notice Season 5 and I kinda half read the instructions…yeahhhhhhh…I totally had the first sock done but with an unusual long and pointy toe…come to find out, I was only doing 2 decreases instead of 4 decreases every other row…totally missed that “repeat at next stitch marker” part…had to undo the best grafting I’ve ever done and completely frog the toe and some of the foot…damnit.

6/25 In yo’ face gusset! On to the foot!

6/20 Heel turned and successfully started guesset!!!

6/14 I’m so bad at turning a heel. something always goes heywire…

6/12 Heel flap - DONE!

6/5 Can’t get enough of the magic loop!!! Easy-peasy! Socks, sleeves, hats beware!!!!

6/2 After consulting The Magic Loop by Bev Galeskas I got my magic loop action on. After fiddling with the placement of the yarn at the beginning of changing the needle - booyah! Loving it and its pretty fast like most people promise.

Loving how this yarn is knitting up also. The overdye job is looking mighty awesome.
