Notes

WOW!! Very complicated for my brain to process at the beginning, but going slowly and following the pattern 1 stitch at a time by the 4th row it made perfect sense and was pretty easy.
I chose to work on 2 circular needles, i think that was easier for the start then double points and I haven’t used magic loop yet so i didn’t want to learn how to do that too.

Finished.
Didn’t finish by Christmas and had to hibernate for the winter. Took a few minutes to remember what I was doing but finished up pretty smooth.
Second sock had holes at the heel corner but easy to fix at the finish.
I will make these again. Fun and easy. Next time I will knit both socks at the same time to make them more even.
