Notes

64sts, top down, 2x2rib cuff, plain vanilla with true afterthought heel.

These socks never fit me well so I never wore them. I frogged the pair and now I’m reknitting them because I love the yarn a lot. Going for a wider toe and a different heel (the first pair was my first with a short row heel and it was not done very neatly, that was why the socks did not fit well).

I finished one sock, but the overall result is very different from the first pair I made, I think I might have used a different needle-size. Since I like the look of the original pair better than the look of this sock, I’ll knit the second one with a smaller needle size (2.25mm instead of 2.5mm) to see if this is what makes the difference.

Note to self: always add the used needle size to the project page.

Got the result I wanted with the 2,25mm needles (see last picture for the difference between the two needle sizes)… I guess this means: frogging the first one and knit it again with the smaller needles.

They’re done and I’m very happy that I started over slightly_smiling_face
