Started during Christmas 2009 vacation to CA. Wound yarn on Eileen’s ball winder and swift before thanksgiving.
used size 10 needles and didn’t quite get guage so I did 19 repeats instead of 27.
bound off, Jan 14; blocked, Jan 15; fringed, Jan 16 and 17.
Old Note: This is my favorite use of entralec, and I love the fringe. Someday, I’ll be making it for myself. I’ll buy the book just to be able to make it, I’m sure of it.

After a swatch went a totally different way that I expected, I used it as a guide for this pattern. Initially swatched with Dream in Color classy from AmyToadyJoe. Then tried Cat’s Eye previously ripped out from some socks. Now SweetGeorgia… much better. Charted as I went, but tweaked heavily as i made it through…
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…
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…
Started out with Judy Becker’s cast on with 14 stitches and worked my normal increases and foot. Now I’ll look at the pattern 🙂
Constructed this handspun especially for this project, turned 6oz of multicolored roving into a gradient by separating up the colors and then spinning them roughly in order with adding pops of the other colors into the others. Not as crisp as some handspun contrast might be, but I really like the effect. Started the handspun…
