Notes

01-16-2023 Second Sock white_check_mark Finished Foot and Toe. Kitchener stitches done.

Only 2 more Foot Chart repeats to start Toe …

01-14-2023 My last Gusset decreases were on row 2 of 6th repeat of Foot Chart. Will knit 8 more Foot Chart repeats (for a total of 28 from cast on) and then start Toe.

01-13-2023 Knitting Gusset decreases. My decreases start before and after row 4 of first repeat of Foot Chart.

Successfully finished Heel, Heel Turn and picked up Gusset stitches.

01-12-2023 Finished all 14 Leg Chart repeats, knit row 1 of Foot Chart and half the Heel.

01-11-2023 Back at it tonight! Knit 2 more repeats of Leg to Heel.

01-08-2023 Finished ribbing and knit 5 of 14 repeats of Leg Chart.

01-07-2023 Long Tail Cast On second sock.

01-06-2023 Fit is BEAUTIFUL heart Very pretty pattern for very soft yarn yarn

Toe complete and Kitchener stitched 11 stitches on front needle to 11 stitches on back needle.

Finished 14 repeats for Foot (I wear size 6.5 shoe) and knitting Toe. Will honor these instructions, learning different number of stitches and rows, which are different from my usual sock Toes wink

01-05-2023 Finished decreases until 60 stitches … knitting Foot to Toe …have 10 repeats. Will probably start Toe after 14 repeats of Foot Chart (I like symmetry partying_face).

Knit 8 more rounds (2 repeats of 4 row Foot Chart across Instep). My decreases are on rows 2 and 4 of Chart. Tried on my sock and fit is perfect star-struck

01-04-2023 Will start tomorrow with a knit round and first row of 15th repeat of Foot Chart.

Picked up Gusset stitches. (Knit across Instep following second row of Foot Chart.) Knit 1 round (knit third row of Foot Chart across Instep) then first decrease round (knit fourth row of Foot Chart across Instep) … again, this is a bit different than other socks I have knit. Will continue to follow the instructions wink

Knit medium Heel and Heel Turn. A bit different than other socks I have knit. (Knit first row of Foot Chart before beginning Heel.)

Knit 9 more repeats of Foot Chart.

01-03-2023 Knit 4 more r peats of Leg Chart … only 9 more to go to knit Heel.

12-29-2022 Decided to LongTail Cast On 60 stitches using my 12” Zing Circular Size 1 (2.25mm) needle. Finished my favorite ribbing and first of 14 repeats of Leg Chart for medium size. Remember to read charts from bottom to top, right to left nerd_face Great yarn for these socks smiling_face_with_3_hearts

Have been moving this project around for quite awhile … time to Cast On heart_eyes
