Notes

My main color is Yarn Carnival High Wire 3-Ply in the color Scattered Leaves, which is a Hill Country Weaver exclusive. I’ve loved it ever since I first saw it and was happy to grab a skein today to start this project.

The tan and green are remnants from other projects, I don’t know the actual colorway of the green as I inherited it with no ball band.

I chose red beads for the berries because they were literally the only color of bead in a size 0/8 in the entire craft store today, and I don’t have time to wait for an online order to ship. YOLO

Finally came to the conclusion that for the sake of the socks well being I really needed to rip out a few rows in order to make them fit my foot length better. I’m removing 13 rows but ripping back the toe plus some rounds. My new toe is a bit stubbier, so I only need to remove 8 plain rounds, then I’ll start the toe decreases. Thankfully the foot and toe being plain stockinette made it very easy to thread a size 0 needle through the appropriate round and rip back to where I want safely.

Finished the new toes on 4/1 during our Easter get together, and now the socks fit like a dream. I’m very glad I took the time to change them.

Gauge measured on plain stockinette:
17.5 sts = 2” (8.75 sts/in)
25 rows = 2” (12.5 rows/in)

38 grams remained from the 100g skein
