I’m slowly working on my Zigzagular Socks. I’m converting these to toe up so I’m having to think through the construction and the pattern to wrap my over tired brain cells around that all.
I’ve knit the stockinette toe for the right sock and places stitch markers for the pattern section. When I get a minute to concentrate I’m going to try to work through a chart repeat to see how this goes.
I made a series of realizations whilst working the toe increases. A) this yarn is more of a light fingering B) the ideal stitch counts for my foot at this guage fall in between the pattern counts C) my sister’s shoe size fits the 64 stitch count and guage perfectly. So basically my knitting subconscious is telling me these need to be for my sister. I don’t have the warewithall to both follow the chart, work my first cables and modify this to fit my foot. Baby steps….I’ll get the pattern in my fingers/brain first and then do another pair for me. Besides it will knock an item off my Christmas to do list!
Happy Knitting!
Good for you getting started early on your Christmas list!
This pattern is so much fun! You won’t even have to consult it any more, when you get to knit your own pair 🙂
Good luck on your knitting adventure.

I am going to do this pattern toe-up as well. Do you have any words of wisdom?
Full disclosure. I worked four repeats and then it got stowed in the UFO bin after my son was born. I didn’t even get to the heel……☺️
