So, this sock is taking part in:
My personal challenge to knit from stash
My challenge to make at least one thing a month
A Pablo Blue KAL at CTnY
The Bank Holiday challenge at CTnY
and very nearly fit the March Sockdown challenge on the SKA board at Ravelry but because i didn't cast on before the end of March it doesn't quite make it!
It's a great pattern, i chose to do 2x2 ribbing on the foot purely because the fit is better for me and i don't like patterned feet but other than that i have made no mods!
I used Judy's Magic Cast-on for the toe, followed the gusset and heel flap as per the instructions (using Socktopus' instructions for shadow wraps instead of the suggested W&T) then when i hit the leg i started the pattern and have done 8 repeats and then ribbed for the remainder of the white stripe.
Before i started the sock i made sure that both balls started in the right place and even went so far as to put the starting knot in the same place so that both socks match! It doesn't usually bother me that much but i think this pair will look better if they are identical ;o)
