Riff Socks Update

I have finally finished Sock #1 in my Riff Sock knitting project.




To recap, I am knitting these socks in “Juice Box,” a Stroll Hand Painted Sock Yarn from Knit Picks. It is a great yarn to work with because not only is it soft, but it is completely
machine washable.


I had an issue with the cuff at the top. On my first try with the cuff, it was way too tight when I binded off – Even with Jeny’s Surprisingly Stretchy Bind Off. I then decided to rip it out, increase my stitches and do my own ribbing (with the magical bind off.) I am happy with the result.


Now it is time for sock #2:


Boy oh boy!
