3/23 Finished. They are definately some mistakes and it is really tight on the ridge of feet but other than that they are good for my first ever socks for ME! :) Used the Knit-One Purl-One Bind-Off. Now to block and take pics.
My first toe up socks so I am made a few mistakes. Also looks like they might be a little small even though I have 8.5 feet just like the sample. My feet are probably just a chubby 8.5, lol! I will still finish and find someone they will fit.
