Notes

Inventing a simple ribs & cables pattern as I go. Notes from sock 1:
2/12: right sock. Inc to 48 then Inc only on 1 side to 52.
2/13: on foot (top) k2p2 rib for 10 rows.
11th row: single left leaning cable x3 then single right leaning cable x3 on knit ribs.
k2p2 for 4 rows. repeat cables.
2/15: repeat pattern once, knit 7 rows of k2p2 ribbing, then start heel.
2/16: on heel, make sure to tbl on k2togs & m1s!
After heel, knit 3 rows w/stockinette in back and k2p2 in front. (10 rows of k2p2 since last cables.)
Next cable row- back of leg: llc, p2, llc, p2, llc, p2, k2, p2, rlc, p2, rlc, p2, rlc. front as previous cable rows.

  • k2p2 all the way around for 4 rows
  • repeat cable row

3/6:
So, yeah, I got lazy about keeping track of what I was doing. That’s what looking at the other sock is for, right?

Anyway, a week late for the Ravelympics, but I’m happy with them. My first socks!
