Then, I knit the toes of the first sock too soon and would you believe I cut the yarn to start the second sock without leaving any extra? I knew they felt snug and that I might redo them and still didn&#8217;t leave some extra. How silly of me. Either way, I finished the second sock lace patterning, knit two rounds as per the option given in the pattern, then started the toe decreases. Sock 2 fit like a gem, so I ripped the toes of Sock 1 and redid them and now they fit well too. I think that&#8217;s the happiest I&#8217;ve been to have to weave in ends a few rows from the end of a sock. But, there you have it. They fit great, they feel great and I LOVE them!<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.metzroth.com\/katie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/IMG_4841.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.metzroth.com\/katie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/IMG_4841-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Purple Socks 2\" title=\"IMG_4841\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-5023\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.metzroth.com\/katie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/IMG_4841-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.metzroth.com\/katie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/IMG_4841-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.metzroth.com\/katie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/IMG_4841.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nPattern: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ravelry.com\/patterns\/library\/polypodium-vulgare-socks\" target=\"_blank\">Polypodium vulgare Socks by Hunter Hammersen<\/a><br \/>\nYarn: Malabrigo sock<br \/>\nColorway: Violeta Africana<br \/>\nNeedles: 2.25mm Signature Needle Arts<br \/>\nPs.
