Notes

Overall Feedback: Highly modified pattern and messed up chart, but it was a good base. Yarn is beautiful to look at and work with. Yarn bleed blue a bit on first wash.

1/5/14-1/12/14 Need project to take with me. Will be using pattern from this sock, but using Sweet Tomato Heel, and asym toes. Plan to pearl foot this time. Created chart for pattern on instep, based on scylla.

Cast on 16sts using Judy’s Magic Cast On. Increased to 31 sts each needle/sock asymmetrically. Inc total 3sts on big toe side/12 on pinkie on each needle. Start pearl sole after toe increases done. Start Chart after toe increases done.

1/13/14 Pearl sole until want to start heal. Knit 2 rnds on sole, then increase 2 sts to 33 (at 11th&22nd st). Do first STH wedge to 9 sts. On full “knit” round after wedge, increase 4 more stitches on sole doing lifted increase on every 7th stitch, 4x (37sts on sole). Continuing pattern on instep.

1/27/14 Project was on hold while finishing scarf. Apparently had finished 3rd wedge at sometime prior lol. Started decrease on heel, while continuing pattern on instep. First round, k6, ssk,kto 8 till end, k2tog, k6 (35 sts), K2-3 rounds, K5, ssk, k5,ssk, k7, k2tog, k5, k2tog, k5 (31 sts). K rounds on heel until ready to start chart again on instep. Continue to do chart around.
1/29/14 Finished off socks with k1p1 ribbing for ~3/4”. Used Jeny’s surprisingly stretchy bind-off.
