July 1, 2025

Pattern calls for 1.5 needles but is a 64st sock, so casting on with 1 instead, will see if this works!

Cuff in the gauge dye works aster

July 2, 2025

13 rounds ribbing, ~1.5in

color B: all aboard
color C: violas

with planned sock height should be 2.5 - 3.5 repeats total - check at repeat 3 row 4, repeat 3 row 8, and repeat 4 row 4

July 3, 2025

Start heel at 2nd side of repeat 5, round 8 - heel in Hawthorne Northstar (note: this was entirely knit in heavy holiday weekend traffic! in the back seat ofc)

July 8, 2025

start toe at 42 stripes (~8in) after heel (ie after a round 4)

got ribbing backwards on 2nd sock (aka k2/p2 instead of p2/k2) but I don’t think it matters that much

note: gauge in stst appears to be ~14 rows/inch

July 10, 2025

started 2nd heel
