My Quarantine Socks

         The story of a pair a socks created during a self quarantine, Stay at Home order, during the Covid19 outbreak  This pair of sock was originally started a year ago but after major issues with my stitches I frogged it and tossed into the UFO bin. So when the governor shut down Las Vegas I started pulling out UFO projects to finish. This is the Twisted Flower sock pattern by Cookie A, I found in her book, Knit. Sock. Love. and of course on Ravelry. She designed it as a tessellation sock, meaning the pattern on the leg shifts during the repeat of the chart. I had never done raised cables so new stitches there plus because the pattern carries down the heal there was new stitches there too. I was determined to get every stitch, every row right. I normally stitch up socks using a magic loop method but found the chart and shifts worked better on my DPN sets. The pattern calls for 2.25mm but I have large calves so I went to a 2.5mm. I used Premier Serenity sock yarn in Grey Flannel colorway from my stash and You tube was my friend for the new stitches. So slowly and methodical I worked and two weeks later I have a sock. Now on to the Dreaded second Sock.
