notes
- leg of sock is 5.5'', 18 rounds of ribbing and 15 pattern repeats
- I shifted stitches along the needles throughout knitting to avoid ladders. Worked like a charm with this pattern.
- on gusset decreases I decreased on rows where you knit the slipped stitch
- at first I thought the yarn was a little splitty but I think there was just a learning curve knitting such fine yarn with bamboo needles which aren’t all that pointy
- there are holes in the gussets – I need to learn if there is a good post-hoc way to fix these??
