Notes

These were my 12th pair of socks for 2014. I finished them over 2 years ago and just now realized I called them 12 Monkeys.

These socks only took so long because I was in a wrist brace for almost a week. Ulnar nerve problems, which then became carpal tunnel when I tried to change my technique to compensate. Ended up knitting so slowly and intermittently that these seemed to take forever.

Not happy with the toe in sock 2; I have an awareness of the end of the toe, which is abnormal. Is it too short? Too tight? Kitchener stitched improperly? IDK. I did end up with 8 stitches, and I prefer a 12 stitch toe end. My fault.
discomfort had disappeared with washing and wearing. I wear these a lot. Very comfortable, as Kroy always is post washing.

I used 1.75mm for leg and sole, with 2.00mm for the instep. Otherwise it was too snug.

10 rows 1x1 twisted rib
6 repeats leg
30 row EOP heel flap
6 repeats foot
8 stitch toe end too narrow
