My first Emotional Support Sock is complete thanks to a long weekend in Missouri wine country. I only made a few mistakes that I had to rip back after a glass or two of wine. These were perfect to work on beside the outdoor fire with a sparkling glass of wine!

Before the trip I did end up weighing my yarn and the sock together to find “half” so I could break the yarn and have roughly an equal amount for sock #2. This sock is my own recipe for a toe up vanilla sock with a gusset heel. I use 68 stitches and the Wendy Johnson heel pattern.

It’s a great fit in the foot and heel and a teensy bit tight in the leg. I have had some swelling from getting back into competitive volleyball and also all the walking on my trip. I’m hoping a return to a healthy diet and some extra water will help flush everything out!

P.S. This was my first fire of the season and I am SO EXCITED!!

Happy Knitting!!
