Notes

03/19/23: Yay!

03/15/23: Ready to start the gusset on the second sock.

02/02/23: 8 rows for the cuff.

01/26/23: 21 or 22 rows to get 8 stitches in the center of the heel, I forget to count rows sometimes when wrapping and turning.

01/20/23: Accidentally increased to 56 stitches instead of 52 but wasn’t about to rip back, so rolling with it. Not super crazy about the yarn, which isn’t tightly-plied enough to play nicely with the pointy Chiagoo tips. (It also isn’t neon in real life, it seems to photograph strangely.) I’m not sure I like starting with such a broad toe, either. I ended up casting onto US 3 needles just to get something loose enough to knit that first hellish row into.

9” foot; knit to 4.5”. (48 rows)
