Notes

Starting at the toes, Nov 1, 2aat. “Multisolving” refers to designing 1 project or product to solve multiple problems - this meets the Nov SKA requirements, uses up yarn I already have stashed, and takes me one step closer to my “knit every Rockin’ Sock Club pattern I haven’t yet completed”, in homage to Tina Newton’s dyework and her pattern designers now-out-of-print efforts.

2025.11.09

Finished toe and first foot repeat to round 25 (there’s a plain round 26, then pattern starts over at 3).

Need to measure row gauge and calculate how many rounds the gussets take up to know when to start expanding (but probably close to now).

2025.11.24

Finished sock 1, 12 repeats of cuff chart to go for sock 2. Might get this in within the month!

Not sure how wearable they’ll be - in hindsight, I could have made the small. The cuff is a yarn pig, I hope I’m not running into chicken

2025.11.25

I won yarn chicken by less than 0.5 m. Finished 11/25 (stitched cuffs partway)
