Project info
Knitting
me
9" foot
Needles & yarn
US 1½ - 2.5 mm
Rohrspatz & Wollmeise Pure 100% Merino Superwash
Notes

Received 11 mini-skeins in a swap. Not sure if the yarn is Twin or 100% Merino.

Toe up two-at-a-time. Increased toe to 60 stitches around.

Picked these up again today after a month of not working on them and knit the entire foot. I’m kind of liking this two-at-a-time business. Almost feels like I’m finishing things a lot faster.

9.6.2011
Heels are turned and I’ve started on leg. I have only four mini-skeins left so I’m approximating that the leg of this sock will be about 5”. These are coming along surprisingly quick.

9.8.2011
Done! I’ve tried three different bind-offs but they have all proved not stretchy enough. Finally ended up with Jeny’s Surprisingly Stretchy Bind Off.

1.3.2013
UPDATE: I took off my shoe yesterday and found a silver dollar sized hole in my sock! It seems to big to try darning so I’m thinking I may remove the heels and try to do an afterthought heel. We’ll see how it turns out once I get over the sadness of it all.
