Notes

May 27, 2023

Knitted 65 rounds on foot before starting gusset but probably should’ve gone with slightly less, like 60 maybe.

Using M1R and M1L for increases.

Had to rip back because I originally knitted only 42 rounds before the gusset like an idiot. As if my feet are that small! woman-facepalming

50 rounds on the leg then 14 rounds of twisted rib before doing a sewn bind off.

I think I ended up with too long a foot in the end but it’s still fine and my left is 1cm longer than my right anyway. Having only ever done one toe-up pair of socks I’m not very comfortable with how long to knit things for.

Only knitted 60 rounds before starting the gusset for the right foot as mine is considerably smaller than my left. Still think I could knit fewer rounds but that’s for another sock.

Overall I’m really pleased with them and I enjoyed the toe up construction but I think I’ll try a different pattern next time.
