Notes

Started when I was in bed resting from my car accident. Just plain socks. Fun! (Funny enough, they were mostly finished while sitting in bed.) (Its comfy here. Don’t judge me…)

4/15/11: Finally done! These took way longer to finish than they really needed to, but I guess that can’t be helped when they go MIA for months. My gauge changed a bit on the second sock, but not too much.

In the end, I only had to dip into the second half of the skein to finish off the leg and ribbing. The first half was enough for all but maybe 4” of the second sock. Not bad!

4/11/11: Heel done. Just have to do the leg now. Funny how fast these things go now.

4/10/11: After months of being lost (only to be found under my bed. I swear its not that messy or anything) I can actually get back to work on these.

Start heel increases after 62 rows from toe.

5/18/10: Hey look! One of them is done!

11/13/09: These are going slow since I only really work on them on my breaks at work. Once I get some other projects done I’ll work on them some more.
