Finished #knitting these #toeUp #TAATsocks last night. I knit the cuff in a 1x1 rib instead of my usual 2x2 rib, so that I wouldn’t have to do any switch stitching or fancy prep ahead of the tubular bind off. Despite that, the bind off is still not particularly stretchy and it’s a struggle to get the cuff past my heel. I’m still doing something wrong in the bind off. Boo.

@Sobtanian Love it! I knit socks two at a time, usually with two balls of yarn, as I haven't had a lot of success knitting them from either end of a centre pull cake (though perhaps I should try again). I was looking at starting a pair of socks that have two colours, which would have me juggling 4 balls of yarn at a time, and your organizer looks like it might make that possible. Thanks for sharing!

Where on earth did these two extra stitches come from?

In this round of #YarnChicken, I pose the question do I…

A) stop these socks now and make them ankle socks and have enough yarn left over to *possibly* make a second pair of ankle socks?

B) keep knitting this pair until the yarn runs out, no matter how tall they end up being?

C) intend to follow through with B but get bored and stop too late to have enough yarn left for A but instead have an awkward amount left?

I've finally made up my mind. I'm going with the lifted increases for the gusset. I decided that I don't want the pronounced ridge that's usually created by the knit-front-and-back increase.

My challenge with the lifted increases is that, when I first learned about them, something I read said that the LLI was actually *right-leaning* and the RLI was actually *left-leaning*, which would mean using them on the opposite side of what seems intuitive.

I've since learned that's not true, but I second-guess myself every time, and it slows everything down.
