Notes

1/19 Super-stretchy bind-off.

1/10 Look at me being all responsible, casting on the second sock!

1/9 Sock #1 finished. Resisting urge to cast on something else before sock #2.

12/31 Simple pattern to take along in a pocket or bag to waiting rooms and the like. (My doctor today was running an hour and a half behind… glad I cast these on!)

New toe shape tried; not the best fit for me - lesson learned. But it’s not dreadful enough to go back and change it; it fits at least as well as commercial socks and better than most, just not perfect. This will be a new heel technique as well. (ETA: Just turned the gusset-and-flap heel and I LOVE IT. Magic! It’s slightly baggy on me, though.)

Adding ribbing under the arch, and a calf gusset, keeping the 3x1 rib in which I did the leg.
