Notes

Needed a new sock project for Winter Camp, since I already finished my hat, and WIPs don’t count.
Thought I’d start these before the next episode so I have the stitch pattern down, and I can focus on the show.
Using my Hedgehog Fibers Sock in the Teacup colorway- could not be more fitting! :)

January 11, 2016

Knit 14 rounds of ribbing before the set-up round. Only did 2 pattern repeats for leg, since I thought it was long enough for my preference. I realized too late (row 18 on the second repeat) that I had been working the lace chart as written instead of following the disclaimer stating to use the written instructions- so they’re not perfect. I still liked how it turned out, so decided to continue. Plus, it’e easier for me to follow charts instead of written directions. Picked up 20 stitches on each side, and I am doing my normal gusset decreases (didn’t feel like following the directions since I was busy watching Downton). Love them so far- this yarn is fantastic! I want to knit everything out of Hedgehog Fibres Sock!!!

3 1/2 pattern repeats for foot and gusset decreases (about 7 3/4”).
Knit one round plain before standard 3,2,1 toe decreases.

Finally got around to weighing these. Used 77 grams for these- which means 21 more points to add to my Winter Camp total! Not bad for January. Now I just have to keep the momentum going and start planning my February projects.
