progress notes

• CO 72 sts with German twisted CO.
• First time using Signature 4-ply. I LOVE IT!!!
• Sock 1, toe 1: Began toe after completing round 12 of 5th chart repeat after heel flap split. (At this point, the sock reached the base of my toes.) Even though I’ve knit several slip stitch heel flaps and noted their row gauge was compressed compared to stockinette, I failed to consider this when I started working this pattern’s slip stitch toe sequence. I used a customized toe shape I prefer that contains 24 rounds; this usually measures 2” long in stockinette. It only measured 1” in the slip stich toe pattern. Tinked back to end of round 12 of last chart repeat..
• Sock 1, toe 2: Added a lifeline to round 12 of last chart repeat. Knit rounds 13-16 of chart while maintaining broken rib columns. Began my 24 rounds of toe shaping as explained in toe 1.
