I started on these socks yesterday around 11:36 am. However, I couldn't get my Judy's Magic Cast On to look right and kept frogging it. Finally after much practice I got it to finally look the way it was supposed to be. Before it was too loose and I couldn't tighten it up. I finally got it though.
Once I got the cast on squared away everything else started falling together. It was a little awkward at first doing this Magic Loop, but I'm used to it now. Last night I stopped knitting on this sock just 3 rows shy of finishing the second repeat.
This morning at 6:05 am I picked up my knitting and finished off the second repeat. I then measured the sock to see how much more I needed to knit before starting the gusset. I have 5 1/2 inches then and needed to have 6 3/4 inches. So I went back to knitting and completed half of another repeat measured again. I found that I now had 6 1/2 inches and only needed 1/4 of an inch left. I figured that was just 2 more rows, so I knitted 2 more rows and measured again. I was right! I now had the 6 3/4 inches I needed. I then knitted across the instep following the lace pattern and then on the sole I began the increase for the gusset.
I then put my needles down and went to fix myself some breakfast. I'll pick up where I left off here in a little while.
