Notes

As my smallest needle is still occupied with the first August pattern, I used 2.5 mm to cast on 60 stitches and knitted 10 rows of 1 by 1 ribbing.

Then switched to bigger needles and increased to 75 stitches. This time I tried it on and it goes over my heel, yeah!

Unfortunately, the color contrast is not great, but I wanted to use what I have.

Got my mini circular in the mail yesterday and tried it out on the second sock. Accidently exchanged foreground and backbround colour, but I think I actually prefer it that way.

The mini circular needs a little get used to, but the pattern seems to be fine, especially as I have no needle change as I do with magic loop.

Finished colorwork on second sock, continued knitting on the first sock, had the heel already turned, finished the gusset decreases and blended in the next yarn.

August 16, 2024

Turned the heel of sock 2 and finished sock 1.
Stranded pattern is looking a lot better (i.e. the contrast is higher somehow) on camera than in real live.
Now just to finish sock 2.

Blocked and finished! Now the cuff is a bit wide, but at leat I can wear them and it does not show on my leg, just on the blocker. Was not sure with my color choice in the beginning, but now I quite like them.
