FO: Sock per week, weeks 1 & 2

I’ve decided to knit one sock per week for the rest of the year. Not for a whole year, that would be crazy. Just til December 31st. If I succeed, I’ll have completed 8 pair by the end of the year. This is the first pair, which took me 2 weeks and 2 days to finish, because I am easily distracted.



Pattern: An Easier Heelby me
Yarn: Austermann Step (roughly 72g of the 100g skein)
Ravelry project page

Pattern modifications:
Increased to 55 sts for gusset because I was trying to be OCD about exactly where the striping was going to line up. Started heel with k30 to make up for the one missing stitch.

Notes:
This is also the first time I've ever attempted to make the stripes match up on a pair of socks. Normally I just go with it. The whole charm of handknit socks is that they are a little crazy. But this time I decided to change things up a bit.

I also made the socks a tiny bit too big for me (and for my sock blockers), which is why they are kinda wrinkly.
