3 things I“m happy to do on this pair of socks - use Must Stash yarn for socks; try a new heel ; & attempt a new toe. And OMG, it all comes in 3’s, I actually finished a pair of socks in 3 DAYS!!!! A+ for me!!
Also been wanting to do a pattern from the The Simple Collection, so 1st down!!
Am attending the School of Stash Sock Education Class & doing the Double Gusset Heel
Hopefully will graduate in time as yarn is not here in time for start-up. I must be the only student not using self-striping yarn!!
School notes - thread for this class
CO 66 st, 2x1 rib - 1.5” cuff
Decreased to 64st, doing magic loop
Pattern: 7st knit border on either side of garter pattern
Eye of partridge heel.
What a great lesson on the heel, hopefully breezed past it
Thought I’d study harder, & do a Sloped Toe from the book Big Foot Knits based on my own gauge. See if this toes works.
