#but I don’t understand why sizes are so limited. ravelry pattern versions have more. pretty frustrating.

I cast off the intersections socks a while ago, but couldn’t photograph them because the house fell down around my ears. But with a fresh blanket of snow, I could finally do the ravelry thing and photograph my knits outdoors haha.

At first, I really disliked these socks. The pattern as it is in the book only offers two sizes, and the smallest was too large for my toes. So I modded them by not fully increasing the toe, and instead sprinkling the rest of the increases along the sole. At the heel turn, I followed the advice of other knitters and upped my needle size—but only for the cable section—then downsized for the leg. This pattern is not ideal for a tight sock, which is my preference, but I think I made it work.

The only change I’d make is shortening the foot by maybe 1/4”-1/2”. Others noted the heel turn started too early, and as this is a new heel construction for me, I couldn’t tell if the heel was situated properly on my foot while knitting. I believe now it’s a little high, but it’s just a little nitpick.
