Notes

9/6 Only took a year to finish this pair. Will take pictures over the weekend.

9/1 Frogged toe of second sock so I can start fresh for my Arithmancy OWL.

1/16 Putting these in time out. I messed up on the heel turn but soldiered. Wrong move. The sock is 3/4” longer than the first. I just can’t live with that so I have to rip back to the heel and try again.

1/1/12 On the home stretch of the second sock. Approximate yardage so far is 290 yards.

HPHC Class prompt for Astronomy: Uranus-signifying a change in the way you knit or something about Uranus. I’m actually finishing the second sock in the same month and the yarn is ice blue like Uranus.
