Toe up socks

Well I am picking up where I left off. I am continuing on with lady Leksak but now that I’m into the body section which is stockinette for the number of inches for length I want, it can maybe get repetitive. So while looking for something, I found a bag with one completed sock and a second sock of toe up into foot section. So I have located it, in knit companion, of the project. So I know the pattern and sort of where I was at. Unfortunately I did not realize how long ago I was working on this… are you ready… 3 yrs. OMG. They were for my granddaughter. Thank you for this site because I could go back through questions I had posed at that time so I have more insight into what I was doing, particularly the picot edge bindoff. During this time I have learned to put more explanations into the notes section, but not then, so this site was a big help. So with trepidation I had my granddaughter try on the completed sock & it fits perfectly now… I was concerned then that too big. So I have to get busy & finish this second sock. So the big question… I asked my granddaughter, who just turned 12 last week, if she would wear them & she said, yes, which for this age is a major accomplishment. So I need to get busy before she grows more or changes her mind!!

Always amazed by sock knitters. It’s so neat!
It’s pretty amazing you’ve been able to pick it up from 3 years back too, I’d have no clue.

So glad you went back to these socks. They’re lovely and the picot edge is the perfect finishing touch.

I think you’re giving me too much credit. It took me awhile to figure it out for the most part. It has helped that I use knit companion for projects and keeps track of rows. But I’ve learned from past experience to be very specific in the notes section, so if it does get set aside for awhile, the different counters are easily identified. We never know, usually, when you set your knitting down that there might a time lapse when picked back up, like 3 yrs. But in this case I think I can get close enough that it won’t be noticeable. Also in this case the pattern has video tutorials that I can watch again to refresh my memory.
