April 20. In 30 minutes, Round 2's clock will run down, and I will not be finished. All good, I like these socks very much. I find I prefer the light yarn as the MC.

April 14. One done and one to go. Time to cast on a white cuff for a fraternal pair. Katherine says that is fine and she will wear them. Evidently mismatched socks are all the rage, ever since Harry Potter's Dobby and his mismatched socks brought them into fashion.

Notes

Competition Requirements
Minima and photo requirements

You must knit at a minimum the size small. The minimum number of boxes we need to see are:

for small: 9 boxes leg, 3 boxes gusset, 7 boxes foot for a total of 19 boxes

for large: 8 boxes leg, 4 boxes gusset, 6 boxes foot for a total of 18 boxes

We will need to see at least the following two clear finished photos: one from the side and one from on top that will enable us to check the total number of repeats. And of course your wip photo. Do not forget to include your team name in your finished email.

6 April 2018. The specs were announced this afternoon while I was still at work, and the pattern dropped while we were at the movies tonight!

July 10. Updated with selfies of socks, taken by Katherine.
