• Needles: CG IC mini, 40” for cast on and 9” after toe increases
• Split skein in half by weight before starting
• Not doing first sock BO til I finish second sock to ensure lengths match
• Judy’s magic cast on
• EZ’s sewn bind off, though in the future I would be interested in trying the kitchener stitch bind off, modified for 2x2 rib (I tried to mod the invisible sewn ribbed bind off myself and epically failed, and didn’t find this post until after I finished the EZ BO)

Ended up a little loose, both in circumference and length. But not terribly so - still wearable with shoes!

After my last mega-fail socks, I’m going to go simpler and just follow a pattern as-written instead of trying to do a ridiculously customized sock. Maybe lack of knitting a gauge swatch will bite me, but I just want something to knit while traveling.

It’s your trail to blaze
Or your bridge to burn
They have the power
We have the numbers now
It’s all just a constant illusion
Of control

They break us like horses
How long will we drag their plow?
What will continue to be
Is what we allow…

Rise Against, “The Numbers”
