Pattern: 'vog on
Yarn: Razzytazzyknits Ravenclaw sock yarn
Needles: 2.75mm Brittany birch dpns
Mods: Short row toe and heel

toe-up corrections and w&t

edited to reflect the actual published pattern, rather than the incorrect one i submitted

Hi everyone! There is a wee problems with the toe-up numbers. One tiny correction will be made to the Knitty pattern soon; in the meantime the correction is in bold. Hope nobody got too frustrated with the pattern! I'm sorry I didn't catch this sooner!

Tequila Phoenix (toe-up formula)
Eye of Partridge Heel Flap:
...
Repeat these 4 rows 8 times more; then Rows 1 & 2. Do not turn work at end of last row. You will be at end of Needle 4. 57 sts remain.
***************

Here are some wrapping and turning instructions from the Lizard Ridge pattern:

Wrap & Turn [W&T]
To wrap and turn on a RS row, knit to point specified in pattern, bring yarn to front of work between needles, slip next stitch to right-hand needle, bring yarn around this stitch to back of work, slip stitch back to left-hand needle, turn work to begin purling back in the other direction.
To wrap and turn on a WS row, purl to point specified in pattern, bring yarn to back of work between needles, slip next stitch to right-hand needle, bring yarn around this stitch to front of work, slip stitch back to left-hand needle, turn work to begin knitting back in the other direction.

progress?

Hi, how is everyone doing on their 'Vog Ons? I have one down, one to go and I got sidetracked with the Mystery Stole 3, so now I'm on track again and going to cast on the 2nd sock.

Hogwarts Sock Swap Sock

I had been trying to find the perfect pattern for pal - something appropriate but not obvious but gave up, then I remembered the other names of the 'vog on socks. So I am knitting Tequila PHOENIX - how apt I thought (esp with the release of The Order of the Phoenix). I haven't done much yet but really enjoying the pattern. My swap pal is a Ravenclaw so I am using self-striping Ravenclaw sock yarn from RazzyTazzyKnits
