Using the Twisted German CO as directed. I’ve used it for other things, but not, I think for socks. Hope it’s stretchy enough.

ETA It is FINE. STOP WORRYING.

CO worked fine, plenty of stretch. Cuffs done. Down the leg I go.

To start of heels in pretty much record time for me. Helps that I’ve been craftually monogamous this week.

Gosh this makes a pretty heel flap. Modified eye of partridge.

Heels are turnt. Such a pretty heel flap. On to de feet! (OK, gusset then de feet). Since this is about when I start panicking about not having enough yarn to finish, I weighed & have 31 g left in one ball. So more than half.

Switched to my new Chia-Goo red lace needles, which I got to have longer cables and more needles to CO another pair on 2/1. But HOT DAMN these are great needles. Super sharp tips. Now I may have to look into their mini-interchangeable set… Only thing, I got the 5” tips, would rather have the 4.

Gusset decreases done, another 4-5 inches til start of toe.
