Notes

08.02.2017

Knitted the toe and maybe the first inch or so of the foot exactly as per the pattern, and it’s definitely too big for my dainty feet, lol. Gonna start over with Judy’s magic cast on and only increase up to 56 stitches.

Almost done with the first sock! Since I increased up to only 56 stitches and then did the heel and leg exactly according to the number of increases and decreases written in the pattern, I ended up off by 2 stitches when I started the ribbing, so I did two k2togs in the first round of ribbing and it all seems to be working out. I was a bit apprehensive about not switching to a smaller needle for the ribbing, but I tried on the sock after doing the first inch or so of ribbing and it looks good so far.

Almost done with the ribbing. (A note to me: 5” = 12.7 cm.)

Bound off the k2togtbl way and I love it. I think this will be my go-to bind-off for toe-up socks from now on.
