Notes

Want to do toe-up for a change as I do not really like starting with the heel nearly at once.

Again used Torsten Duit’s tutoral for a turkish cast on here >

Started gusset increases in 2nd row of baby blue stripe for the first sock, plan to do 13 gusset increases

2nd part- twisted stitches - gnaaa! Again not my favorite…
But will not use a cable needle, but using the method described in this video instead »

Finished second sock, quite like the fit! I started the gusset increases 13.5 cm after cast on (incl. toe) and increased 13 stitches on each side.

Long time since I last made a pair of “Take 5 socks” »
which basically means you alternate the yarn every 5 rows in no perticular order.

I tried to alternate a handpainted, colourful yarn with a more solid colourway for this one.

I just did about 10 stitches in the middle of the sole using both strands togester and then simply cut them off in the end, no weaving in ends.

Was fun to do, I see more of these in my near future…
