In trying on my socks today for photos I find the leg and foot to be too fluffy and loose for me, and somehow I cast on my second cuff (purple) a little too tight, so I cannot pull it as high on my leg as the orange and that is making it worse. I will need to redo the cuff to make the pair more comfortable to wear. The whole leg is tighter than the first, just a minor tension issue but funny anyway, it’s still plenty roomy. I’ll set them aside for a little while and decide if I want to do a true sock surgery so that there is a cuff-down cuff, or just slide my needles in to knit a toe-up cuff onto the leg. Or maybe I can carefully undo the cast on and do a stretchy bind-off? I’m going to think on it.

Beautiful pattern and everyone’s combination in this round of Sock Madness have been great!
