Notes

Notes for left sock: JMCO 28 sts; inc. 4 sts e.o. round to 56 sts; {m1, k4} across row to 70 sts; begin chart (yay for short row/round repeats!); 13 repeats to FLK; 11 repeats to rib; 1x1 rib (for 10 rows); sewn b.o.

Notes for right sock: JMCO 24 sts; inc. 4 sts e.o. round to 48 sts; {m1, k4} across row to 60 sts; begin chart; 11-1/2 repeats to FLK; 11 repeats to rib; 1x1 rib (for 10 rows); sewn b.o.

Oct 24/15: due to childhood illness, one of mom’s feet is smaller than the other. I think this will be her first pair of custom socks. The herringbone seems like it’ll suit her nicely.

Oct 25/15: ready to start the heel of the larger sock.

Oct 27/15: will be working the b.o. for the first sock today.

Oct 28/15: am just about ready to turn the heel of the second sock!

Oct 30/15: finished the second sock last night! I don’t think I’m going to bother blocking these because I always find that after hand-wash blocking colourwork socks, they go enormously and don’t reflect how they’ll behave after a trip through a washer/dryer cycle any way. I’m really happy with how the colourwork turned out and think these’ll be a good fit!
