Notes

k at first I was intimidated, then as I was doing the toe I thought “oh this is pretty easy” and now I’m at the heel and I’m over it already XD. Knitting the scallops is very easy, but picking up the stitches for every one of them is really getting annoying - trying to keep them evenly spread out and getting to the end of the side of the scallop with just the right amount…ugh. And I’m not even halfway through the first sock!

TLDR this was fun for about 1/4 of one sock lol

Scallop L appears to be missing some instructions after the short rows are worked on the 62 (69, 76) sts. It seems to me you need to work rows 3-27 (31, 35) as for Scallop A again like you do on Scallop K. Otherwise you are not symmetrical and the next instructions don’t make any sense. I cannot find any errata for this pattern but I find it hard to believe I’m the only one who noticed this….

Left side cuff went perfectly, but I’ve done the right one twice now and it’s not working out for me. I don’t understand it, since I know I started with the right amount of stitches. But I keep ending up with more unworked stitches on one side than the other :( Will try again tomorrow.

Finished first sock. 57g left. 10 rounds of rib at cuff.

The problem with the right cuff was that I needed to include the wrapped stitch in the p31 in order to start the short rows in the right place. I don’t know if that’s something I did wrong, or a problem with the pattern.
