Notes

Was turning my queue upside-down what pattern to knit - but then I decided to try what Destin will look like in a handpainted yarn…

03.01.2016

Increased to 59 stitches after 1,5 Pattern repeats
Did 3 Pattern repeats before starting heel
Did 0,5 Pattern repeats in front leg only before starting pattern in back of leg as well
Did 4 stitches in stockinette at each side of lace panel

06.01.2016

Finished! Re-named them after Mr. Domic said they do not look like Strawberries, but like a poisenous snake… He uses to buy something called “Mexikostange” from the bakery for lunchbreaks sometimes, hence the name.

Length is fine, maybe a tad too long for the foot, heel seems to fit fine. However, if I did these again, I would not only do a centred lace panel on the back of the leg, but either lace all around or just ribbing for the back of the leg.

Did a 10 rows ktbl, p1 cuff. Bound of in Angiies cast off and also used her cast on.

ETA to add link to Regia table with sock measurements
Foot lenght for me before starting FLK: 21 cm
Total foot length: 25 cm
