Am knitting these in a KAL with Hayley and Kairee from my knitting group. Both Hayley or Kairee have never knit socks before and so I agreed to teach them and knit a pair of plain jane socks. I opted to do knee socks.
I normally like my socks on 2.25mm needles, but Felici is really thin and so I had to go down a needle size.

My gauge is 13 sts per inch on 2.0mm.

Have knit the foot to 6.75” before starting a short-row heel. But will have to wait to turn the heel tomorrow at knit night when I can do it with Hayley.

I’ve resisted the urge to cast on a new pair of socks and opted to actually finish a sock WIP. Since these have been on the needles for over 3 years, I think it’s about time they get done!!! I’m not sure if these will turn into knee socks anymore, as I can’t find that 3rd skein!

I’ve also decided to rip out the short-row heel as I really didn’t like how it looked. Instead I’m knitting a gusset heel (gasp! Not an afterthought?!?) to see how the stripes will play out and look.

I’ve knit up both socks to the cuff! Yes, these were already almost halfway done when I picked them back up again but I’m quite surprised that they’ve knit up this fast. I better start thinking what my next pair of socks is going to be!

June 26, 2014:
After over 3 years of being a WIP on the needles, these socks are FINALLY done, done, done!!!! I’m glad I ripped back and re-did the heels, I’ll definitely be wearing these bad boys a lot when the cold weather hits!

Leftover: 20g.

How I knit these:

• not sure any more how many sts were CO for the toes.
• increased to 64sts
• knit until foot measured 6.75” from the tip of toe.
• knit gusset heel
• knit leg until measures 5.25” from the top of gusset
• knit 2x2 ribbing for 1”
• BO using Jeny’s Surprisingly Stretchy BO.

Even though I had CO these years ago, I think they were an old enough WIP that I can use them for the Socks With Sarah KAL. So these are the 6th pair!
