Oh I am *so* good…
I wanted to make tabi socks to wear with my flip flops this summer. I attempted the Lickety Split pattern, but it completely confused me and made me want to bang my head against the wall. So I decided to make up my own pattern, using my normal toe-up sock techniques. I used magic cast on, and I made two toe caps at a time - both big-toe caps, and both 4-toe caps. Then I kitchenered them together, picked up a few stitches, and tada!
So I’m pretty proud of myself for actually figuring that out on my own. Now I just have to knit to the heel, turn it, and knit the cuff!

you seriously need to make sure you write notes for that so you can turn it into a pattern! people would pay to be able to do those two at a time toe up!
GREAT JOB! you are teh awesum!
