So, remember all that wangsting about modding sock patterns?



Turned out to be pretty much unnecessary. (In this case. I'm sure the wangsting will return at a future date for another sock project.)

After ripping out my first try, the modded try and then the simple stockinette swatch, all I needed to do was go from a US 1 (2.25mm) needle to a US 1.5 (2.5mm) for the cuff and then back down for the rest of the sock.

So, while in Kentucky, I finished off the first sock. And I was so incredibly smart that I forgot to bring the larger needles for the cuff with me.

Oh well, guess I have to start another sock then.



Woe is me.

What a nifty toe that sock has! Beautiful work, as usual.

Yea, the star toe is really cool! I may try it on another pair to see how it does. It might be my new favorite.

Excellent. I'll let you know if you ever misspell it. Remember there are 13 'e's in it. :D
