Captain's Log, Supplemental
I finished my first toe sock!
Yes, it’s missing its other half. I'll finish it later.
I used Knitpicks.com’s Memories in Hawaii colorway, and I modified the toe part of Michelle Cho’s toe-sock pattern for my top-down sock in plain stockinette stitch.
The toes aren’t quite right—I made the foot too long before starting on the toes. The toes are also a bit snug, but I figure it’s better to have a snug sock rather than a loose one. My socks have loosened a little after a few washes.
This wasn’t just for me, it was also for practice. One of my high school youth group girls just graduated and is now in college, so I promised her I’d knit her toe socks as a graduation/goodbye present. I hope those turn out better!

Your toe sock looks great! I haven't been doing much knitting towards the latter part of the summer and while I was in transit. I've started a scarf though and have brought a few balls of sock yarn from home with me...have to start the socks though.
