Notes

8/3 - Finished! I usually do socks 2 at a time but that’s not possible with this pattern. Kind of nice to make more progress on one sock at a time. Don’t be afraid of this pattern, but do make use of the videos and technique links in the pattern, and don’t print it out because it would take an insane amount of paper! The tricky bits are only a fraction of the overall knitting time, and they aren’t that tricky, really.

7/11 - One sock done. The heel spiral is a neat trick; recommend watching the video twice before attempting. The provisional chain was tricky for me, no matter how many times I’ve done it. The sewn interlock bind off is also new to me but not too hard. Knitwise, hold the loop open, back to front; purlwise, hold the loop open, front to back.

6/28 - This is such a clever pattern! The tricky part of the heel is done on sock 1 and I’m working on the foot.
