Notes

This will be my second attempt at magic loop, toe up, two at a time. I wanted something simple, but with a bit of pattern, so I’m going to try to work these three patterns together and see if it makes one decent pair of socks, without making me crazy in the process.

I’m happy with the way these look but a little disappointed in how they fit. Surprisingly, despite following the FLKH instructions and using the stupid cardboard foot, they’re a tiny bit too big. Just enough that it’s going to be annoying.

I couldn’t really tell when to start my ribbing, based on how much yarn I had left, and I started it too early. I wanted to use up the whole ball but actually wound up with a little left over because I didn’t want to keep going and have six inches of ribbing.
