Notes

Decided that a solid toe and Icord looks better, so the Gründl yarn is back.
In addition, I decided to try a chevron type pattern for the selfstriping yarn part.

Did about 20 rounds in lace pattern, quite easy to memorize

Finished first sock

September 21, 2025

Finished 2nd sock.
I am not totally sure I will do the groovy pattern for these socks again. I like the finished, but I think I like plain stockinette even better.
Totally used up the country fair yarn, had to add in the grey-black again for some rows on the front flap.
