Trying to get a tighter gauge on the machine. I moved the cam line up to just barely cover the 3rd line and it was a chore. The machine does not want to knit this tight and stitches popped off a lot, even with the heaviest weight inside. I had to move the weight up every 15 rows to keep things from going pear-shaped.

I’m using leftovers from a shawl so I just made the tube as long as I could with the Bijou color and I’m using Orion to knit the heels toes and cuffs.

For the toe I did a standard decrease every other round toe and grafted at 10 stitches. (ended on a decrease row) Next time I might stop at 12 stitches.

For the heel I cut in, picked up 60 stitches, knit one row plain all the way around the heel - then I did the Fish Lips Kiss heel. Once I completed the heel I grafted the heel stitches to the back of leg stitches.

For the cuff I picked up and knit 2x2 ribbing. I still have quite a bit of the dark blue, but I felt like the cuff was a good height in relation to the rest of the sock so I stopped.
