Notes

Received yarn as a gift from another knitter. Incorporating the basic instructions from the CSY socks, the texture from the Petty Harbor socks, and the heel instructions and other details from the Beginner socks pattern - - or at least that’s the plan.

Started out with the 8-stitch toe, but was too pointy. Frogged, then restarted with 12 stitches on each needle. Increased to 48 stitches, then started the texture pattern from the Petty Harbor socks. When I reached the heel turn, decided on the Fleegle heel, maintaining the texture pattern. Worked 4 rows after turn, then applied pattern to entire leg. After 3.5 inches, increased the needle size to 3.0mm. After 5 inches, changed to 2.25mm needles and 1x1 rib for 1.5 inches, then bound off. Copied for other sock.

Completed 10 January 2017, need to block.
