Notes

Two at a time, my way. Mostly on 9” circulars, on DPNs when needed. 68 stitches. I complete a round on the first sock and then do it to the second sock. That way I don’t lose my place, and they are guaranteed to be the same size.

They were done, and I messed them up closing the toe with knitted Kitchener stitch. Both socks! I ripped them back to the beginning of the toe, where I had a lifeline. They have an Eye of the Partridge heel. It seems wasted with the variegated yarn.

I had just finished the Feather and Fan Flair top when I started these. The math worked, I had the pattern memorized, and just went with it. I will stay away from this particular lace for a while.
