Last year I knit a pair just like these socks and liked the pattern so much. I just had to knit up another pair just like them. So on April 8th I ordered some Alchemy Juniper Amethyst from Simply Socks Yarn Company. Then on April 13th I began knitting way on these socks. I still had notes in my Socks from the Toe Up book from the last pair, but because I was going to knit them with a size 1 circular needle this time the notes would be just that notes for my size 2 dpns. I had to begin from scatch!
So after getting the toe finished I began knitting away and measuring every so many rows and finally came to where it was 3 inches away from the total length of the foot. On the 14th I began working on the gusset, heel turn, heel flap and part of the leg. Then on the 15th I finished the first sock and started on the mate. I only managed to get 1/2 of an inch finished though on the mate before heading to bed that night. First thing in the morning I finished up the toe and started working on the foot.
Now I knew the mate would work up faster now that I had all the information from the first sock. So the foot was finished on the 16th and almost all of the gusset. Then on the 17th, I finished up the remaining part of the gusset, heel turn, heel flap and almost all of the leg. Then yesterday I finished up the last bit of this sock and took the picture.
Once the picture was finished I wrapped it up and packaged it to be mailed off to a friend. This morning it went out in the mail.
