Cuff, Ribbing and leg done up until beginning of Chickees…Colorwork is going a bit faster than I’d thought it would. Not looking forward to weaving all the tails in tired_faceconfounded

Leg is snug - gauge measures at 8.5spi 11rpi

04-24-2017

Leg after Chart - 2 rounds on US0, then switched to US000 for the remainder of foot

27 rows to end of gusset decreases = 3.25”
Foot gauge - 8spi 12rpi on US000

Put lifeline in on R42

04-27-2017

Would have finished closer to normal bedtime…but alas I was coming up at least an inch short for actual fit and maybe 1.5 inches short for competition minimum….so toe got frogged.

50 rounds of foot (US000) -- Foot Chart + 3 rows of St st (US0) -- Toe (US000) (Fun Fact: toe took 30m)
