Notes

This was my first attempt at two at a time socks with magic loop and it was amazing! I will never knit a single sock at a time ever again. It’s definitely fiddly at first and can be again during the gusset, but worth the trouble to avoid second sock syndrome.

I started these in size large but after finishing the gusset the foot was too wide so I just continued decreasing until I got to the medium size stitch count so that the rest of the foot fits better. The heel is a little loose but doesn’t bother me under shoes.

I was playing major yarn chicken with these! I got to the toes and ran out of yarn with 4 rows remaining, so I tinked back to knit two fewer rows before decreasing in order to finish the last 4 rows and the grafting.

I started these on a road trip to Asheville to visit family and finished them there to wear for the trip home!
