Finished the toes. 2” from the cast on seems a bit overkill, but that’s where my pinkie toe ends.

As I start knitting with the main color, I’m starting to see how slightly overtwisted Quatro is. It doesn’t seem like it’s going to be a problem.

Had to start over because I had 4 extra stitches per sock and it was too loose. My fault for not counting rows and stitches correctly. These might get done before the end of the year, depends how quickly I knit my Hildis coat.

Sold my needles for mini interchangables so these socks are taking a nap until the minis arrive.

Oops, I forgot to update this. I received my new Chiaogoo mini interchangeables about 3 weeks ago and have been knitting these whenever I get the chance.

Unlike the last vanilla socks, these are measured correctly along the sole (I wanted the stripes to appear correctly so the sole was a tad longer than I wanted). I’m about an 2” past the afterthought heel.

Only the cuff ribbing left. Knitted 5” from the heel, plan on knitting 2” cuffs to match the toe length.

Finished. I like the fit of these compared to the Burberry socks, although I haven’t sewn in the ends and washed these yet.

I’m skeptical on how well the Tanis yarn is going to hold up because it’s already showing little bits of wear. I’m crossing my fingers the Heritage holds up compared to the other socks I made. This yarn was made in Peru vs China.

Cascade Heritage update: after going through the wash and dryer a couple of times, I can report the Peru milled version holds up a LOT better than the China milled. There’s tiny bits of fluff appearing, but nothing like my other Heritage socks after the first wash.
