715g (3.6 skeins) of the bigger chunks of ripped BMFA STR Heavyweight. 10-08-2015 Cast on prior to #alumholiday road trip so it could be knit on during the drive. By the time we got going, I had the body memorized. 10-15-2015 end of #alumholiday and I have 6.5” of the 11” I have planned on…
swatch with chamboard?
alternate names: bitcabeach, PB&J toe up zigzagular socks, just using the stitch pattern on my standard toe up socks. JMCO 12, increase to 38. slowly increase to 42 on outside edge of sole, moved 4 stitches from inner edge of sole to instep before starting heel. FLKH at 7 1/4”, 12-12-12. Knit 2” after heel…
gauge swatch relaxed just a touch (25st/4” to 24st/4”, while pattern called for 26).

this isn’t the right base for the yarn I’m using, it’s not in rav tho. Basic Sock, 434yds, 75/25 merino nylon. for the Fiber and Dice #sushiquestkal using yarn inspired by the game Sushi Go! I used it as a #convokal where it got a lot of knitting during commuting and gaming.
used the 40” size at the top and 48” at the bottom, with decreases/increases in the ribbing on both sizes. increased a little more for the bottom section once joining. split hem feature. Cast on so I could knit on this during the Zombie Knitpocalypse 2015. Didn’t make much of a dent until the flight…
cast on at the beginning of #kdlbadventure in the PDX airport to #zk2015 and to see a dear friend. JMCO 14, increase to 38? increase again before the heel. backwards knitting for the heel. could use a little more ease in the top of the foot before the heel.
the yarn traveled to me from Peru, the project will travel with me to Minnesota and Illinois, and I’ll knit on it with traveling through the wool warp to talk to friends online. well traveled, indeed! followed tips for widening neck opening and later the beading from mirielgw’s Beaded Viajante. using backwards loop and reverse…
JMCO 12st 2 at a time, on longer bent circs; after increases, switched to 9” circs to zoom zoom concurrently. gauge is a bit tighter on these needles, ~10/in. increased to 38. increase mid foot and before heel to 42. knit to 7.25” before FLKH. 1-13-14-13-1 these ended up too long, gifted to Karen.
