Half and half toe: 20/40/68 (last rnd is plain knit rnd)
68 sts instead of 70. Took one st from the sole for the top to match the pattern.
Heel started on second half of row 7 of 6th repeat.
Short row heel over 39 sts: 13/13/13
On next row 7 began knitting pattern around entire sock.
On next row 1, switched to US1.
Six repeats of the pattern around the entire leg, switched back to US0 for one plain knit round (marked) then begin ribbing. 20 rnds.
Interlocking BO I’ve finally gotten the hang of this bind off but I don’t think I love it. It’s a great amount of stretchy but it looks a bit too open.

These socks took a long time to do but not because I didn’t enjoy it - I really did, especially the wonderful colors of the yarn. We’ve just been so busy I haven’t had much knitting time, which is super-sad! I hope to change that soon.
