Notes

10/14: Cast on 64 using a stretchy cast-on. I normally wear a ladies size 9 shoe, although I chose to make the 9 1/2+ size as I prefer a slightly looser sock to a tighter one. I’ve only just started, but I’m loving the way this self-striping yarn is turning out. This is my first time knitting socks -wish me luck!

10/20: I didn’t like the way my cast-on was a little too loose, so I frogged the project and restarted. MUCH better now, if I do say so myself!

10/26: 1st sock is 80% done! I’m still blown away that I was scared of making socks for so long. Turning the heel isn’t so bad, am I right?

10/28: On track for finishing the first sock today. I’ve begun decreasing, and everything’s looking good. I came to the sad realization that I’ve been using the wrong needle size all along -size US 2.5 instead of 2.5 mm. Not a huge deal, but I’ll know for next time. I always confuse those two!
