start mid-October for travel socks! yarn from Angel. CO 14 JMCO, increase every other round to 32, knit 5 rows even and increase one more time to get 34. somewhere gain an extra stitch for 35 š knit to 7.5ā total foot length. 2 rows before heel, increase to 37 on sole, then one row…
adapted slightly for the side patterning and the center of the pattern to be stockinette rather than seed stitch for ease of knitting. and used Fish Lip Kiss Heel instead of pattern heel. Wound the yarn by hand because my swift/ball winder were having problems. The looseness of hand winding really caused problems with pulling…
finished the first diagonal stripe and found it would be hard to do the short rows after the stripe two at a time (2AAT). hibernating while I decide if I want to do them one at a time.

Knit.Sock.Love was a gift from MSkiKnits. Adapting for Toe-up, with a few extra stitches on the sole to make it slightly bigger than the small size. 9st/inch. The toe-up options of Los Manos Loco (with no purls) and the Toe-up Monkey Socks by Zvenhy Levy (with many adjustments) are helpful for people wanting to do…
