This is my “I don’t feel like working on any other projects but still want some fiber in my hands” project, so it isn’t getting worked on super consistently. I tend to work on it in spurts - work the cuff, turn the heel and work the gusset, then work the foot. Once I started working the foot I wanted to get it done so I focused a bit more on it and this morning I finished up the first sock. I don’t do the standard toe shaping anymore if I can help it, instead I shape the toe to fit my foot. Yes, that does mean that I have a left and a right sock, and I’m good with that. It also means that I have socks that fit my toes very well. I mean seriously, is anyone’s toes shaped the way most sock patterns shape their toes? Custom shaping them is easy, it just requires a lot of trying the sock on between rounds to make sure that the decreases are working out properly. Obviously most of the decreases happen on the very sloped part of the toes, and I work them every other row.
