Fair warning...this pattern is highly addictive! Every other row is plain knit and it is so easy to say "just one more eyelet row." I'm happy these socks are finished and can be warming my toes! By the way....thanks for all the math encouragement. I chatted with my advisor yesterday and she was grinning ear to ear! Those are fun meetings!
Yarn: Lang Jawoll Cotton Collor
Needles: DPN US 1.5 and 2 (I switched to the 2's towards the top of the cuff to make sure they were stretchy enough. I probably didn't have to do this, but I wasn't sure)
Mods: I cast on 64 stitches instead of 60, so there were 12 stitches between eyelets.
New things learned: Toe up construction with short row heels and toes! While I didn't really enjoy doing the short rows I can't argue with the results. Normally I have to give a new technique a few pair before I can really judge if I like doing it or not!
PS....I love how the socks are mirror images of each other!

The diagonal eyelet pattern does look like it was fun to knit.
Wow, that was fast. I just finished the toe on the second one. Switching my brain to the other diagonal is driving me nuts!
