Notes

4/1/2014

  • Cast on two at a time using Judy’s magic loop
  • Increase rows doing K1 M1L K to 1 stitch before end of row, M1R, K1 (mirror knitting)
  • Ended with 22 stitches each side (44), stockinette row
  • Continue foot next time until 36 stitches each side (72) starting with increase row

4/4/2014

  • Decided large size was too large, frogged everything.
  • Husband helped me make FLKH cardboard templates.
  • Cast on again two at a time using Judy’s magic cast-on
  • Ended with 20 stitches each side, stockinette

4/5/2014

  • Finished toe, using medium size
  • Started on chart 1

4/25/2014

  • 2 full repeats of chart 1
  • On 3rd repeat of chart 1 row 18, started FLKH instructions to turn heel
  • Next row should be chart 1 row 19

4/26/2014
- Completed both FLKH minus the 1” stockinette above the heel

5/4/2014

  • Finally back to the KAL
  • Continued with row 19 of chart 1
  • Finished third chart 1 repeat
  • Started fourth chart repeat
  • Start with row 10 next time to continue in pattern
  • Deciding if I want short socks or to keep going to use up the yarn, there is quite a bit left

5/5/2014
- Made it through row 22 of fourth chart repeat

5/10/2014
- Started sixth chart repeat

5/11/2014

  • Completed sixth chart repeat
  • Started chart 2
  • Ended after row 6 of chart 2

5/16/2014

  • Oh my! I cannot believe I’m finished! I had maybe a yard of yarn to spare.
  • Used slipslipknit’s miraculous elastic bind-off, which is really miraculously elastic.
  • Will be weaving in ends tomorrow and taking photos. Hooray! Another KAL almost completed!

This was the favorite finished object for the April 2014 Melisandre Reddit KAL! <3 :)
