The 2nd Sock

I cast on and finished the toe of sock #2. I’m working the Campfire socks toe up using handspun yarn. I started this second sock with a different ball of my handspun and I can tell it was spun thicker. My sock fabric is thicker and not as flimsy, if that makes sense. It actually looks better than the first sock. I guess that’s what happens with handspun yarn, especially first yarn. It’s somewhat uneven in thickness, but it looks pretty good, although my toe could be better. The stitches are a bit holey, I didn’t work the toe cast on tight enough but oh well. It’s only my second toe.

I’m not sure on my technique though. I need to research it a bit more to see if I can improve it. I went off memory from the last time I attempted toe-ups socks. I think I’m doing the magic cast-on, but I better double check it.
