Toe Cast-on - Judy's Magic Cast-on
Used a legline, and knit up for leg, trying it on as I go.
Heel: knit side decreases for Sock 1 (similar to the toe increases) to the heel with kitchener to complete the heel.
Sock 2 - Judy's Magic Cast-on for toes, knit up, used a legl line for leg
Heel: Added 5 stitch markers and decreased around stitch markers to create a sectioned heel, before kitchener. This made it more conformed to my heel, and the seam is less prominent.
Here is sock 1 to the leg line:
(I actually love the way it's pooling - it's very pretty)
Here was the first sock done, and the second starting.
The pooling didn't match on the foot. I think I had one extra stitch on the left foot (ie. 1 stitch wider), so the stitch color formed in neat rows), so I flipped the second sock over, so the starting rows are mirrored instead of identical.
Here is the heel I did for sock 2 - seems more comfy on my heel:
I am now on the second leg, just at the point of the beginning of my calf where I will need to start increasing.
Project Completion %age: 80% (yay- over the 70% hump!)
It's a pretty portable project, as I'm bring it around in my purse, and knitting whenever I have a wee bit of time, and can complete a few rows.
