Notes

Making this with Toil and Trouble’s newest coloway: Typewriter.

02-03-2017

Gauge achieved with US 0 (2mm)

Cast On 56 sts (pattern is noted as an 8 stitch repeat via pattern comments); Used German Cast On

02-05-2017

Made some heel progress during SB51, at least had the gussets picked up…

German Cast On is proving to be too tight…making mental note to go up a needle size for this cast-on in the future. Will have to do sock surgery to fix with a stretchy BO later.

02-08-2017

Sock #1 is finished!

Leg = 34 rounds
Heel = 28 sts; 27 on front needle and 29 sts on back needle. Work until Rnd 104
Heel Turn: R109 - K14; R110 - P5
Foot: 51 rounds from R141 = 6.5” mark to start toes
Toe: 20 rounds to get to 16st before grafting.

Took out cast-on (German Cast-On) and did a JSSBO.

02-12-2017

Pair is done!
Did a JSSCO for 2nd sock, now it matches the JSSBO on 1st sock.

Sock 1: 27g
Sock 2: 28g
Pair: 55g (41g yarn rem)
