notes

• Started with a German Twisted Cast On, which is lucky because I got a little carried away with the length on the leg and needed a stretchy cast on to go around my calves.
• As with all socks, I modified the toe shaping as follows: decrease every other row until 40 stitches remain, then decrease every row until 20 remain, then graft with kitchener.
