I’m definitely going to knit these (and any other tubes - arm warmers, etc.) 2 at a time in the future.

Second Pair:
Did the regular rib at beginning and end per pattern. Changed the stitch to elongated twisted rib mentioned below. Much faster to knit, but more difficult to remember where you are in the pattern. As a result, I made some mistakes, but you couldn’t really tell, so I just kept going. Turns out, having the regular rib at the end showed off that there were differences in where I was in the twisted stitch pattern on each sock when I started the rib, and made the socks look different/different lengths. Will be more careful if I do these again. But I may just do some straight rib the whole way.

NOTES ON 1st Sock of First Pair:
Darn it! I forgot to do the regular rib before I started the fancy twisted rib. Ugh! What to do? Start over?

12-7-09 No regular rib at beginning. 4” of twisted rib. Over top of foot elongated twisted rib (twist row, 2 reg rib rows, twist row 2, 2 reg rib rows, etc.) for 4”. Elongated twist is MUCH faster and almost as pretty. Might do elongated + more reg rib on second pair.

I like the twist rib, but it’s a B@^& to knit with this yarn on size 3 needles. Yarn has no give and is VERY splitty.*
