in which I write about stuff
8 rows ribbing
16 rows for the heel flap, including the setup row (shifts the pattern by 3 st)
pick up 9 st on each side of the heel flap
ended foot after round 1? round 2?
Sort of wish I’d made them one repeat taller on the ankles, but otherwise they look good
I had done all the way to the end with the top half as in the pattern, using a bright blue/dark grey combo in the Novita, but the floats were too tight and I didn’t like the color combination. ripped all the way back to the midpoint (note, also switched up the center stripe, which had been in a cream/grey) and redid the top mirror the bottom (aka worked the chart upside down). much happier with this version!
washing/blocking this hat made a HUGE difference!
also, it’s been a bit now, but there was something odd in the decreases IIRC, although it’s not noticeable.
Only had enough yarn for one set of eyelets and one set of chain stitch, but it makes for a cute little scarf
used long toe
started heel turn at last row of repeat 10, about 5.5in
increase on rows 1 and 3 of pattern
Ended up hating that heel (dnf) and ripping it out in favor of the fish kiss heel
Started heel on the 2nd half of the last row of the 15th repeat
Finished 1st sock with 11 rows ribbing
Cast on 2nd sock
Note for future me: the fixed wooden-tip #8s work well for this size, even if tight for the first round or two
