With all my time in February knitting a hat, scarf, and a shawl, I knew I wouldn't have time to finish my current sock in progress for SAM 9 . So I decided to knit my usual stand-by socks. Magic 28 Socks
This time, I wanted to try a picot cuff.
I wasn't sure it would work due to the number of stitches (28) but hey, what the heck, it's a small sock if I have to frog it. Aren't they cute???
This yarn may be familiar, it's the leftovers from this pair. As you can see by the toe pic, I didn't have enough leftover.
Of course, I didn't find that out until I had already finished toe 1. I also realized, I have no purple sock yarn. So in true last minute style, while watching the closing ceremonies of the Olympics, I frogged back sock 1 and knit the toes in some leftover Cascade 220 superwash from these socks.
No plans for these, but I'll save them for some future little baby girl.

So cute! Great use of leftovers too!
Cute! I love the picot edge.
Sadly, not only did I not finish my February socks, but I think I'm going to rip them out - the pooling is totally different on the second sock than the first. I'm thinking this pretty yarn needs to be plain stockinette.
So cute! I'm a sucker for picot!
Cute and bright!
picot is adorable!
I really love that orange toes! Nicer that purple ones would be!
