I’m on a finishing kick over here! (not that you’d know it from my Ravelry page)
Last night I finished the second watermelon sock and I LOVE THEM! They’re ridiculous and bright and happy, and therefore perfect socks.
The fit is a little off on these, I probably should have short rowed more on the heel to make it narrower and taller, and these do not have a gusset so they are quite tight across the heel. No matter though, I will certainly wear them! In fact, I’m wearing them to work today!
The bind off I’m also unsure of - I did a sewn bind off and while it looks great on and is stretchy enough, it looks strang OFF the foot and is kind of bothering me.
