Notes

May 27, 2025

Doing two at a time - I’m assuming the small is the correct size as I usually fit a 64st sock

May 29, 2025

the stripes were just off enough between the two socks (length of cast-on etc) that I switched around “beginning of round” on sock A so that the change of ribbing looked right

June 2, 2025

started first heel - ripped out because I was not getting the pickups right on the double w&t, going to start over with fish kiss heel

June 3, 2025

fish kiss heel worked well, second heel slightly crooked but not in a noticeable way

Finished stockinette yesterday, transferred one sock to #2s (a bit of a weird feat with two at a time) for colorwork

length before colorwork ~5 1/2 - 5 5/8 (for final sock length ~9 1/8 unstretched)

Trying ladderback jacquard technique instead of catching floats

June 20, 2025

Finished first sock, started first colorwork row of second sock as part of moving the socks around to the correct needles

June 21, 2025

blazed thru the colorwork on the second sock while watching episodes 1-6 of The Residence
