The gloves are working out much better by not increasing as rapidly halfway up the thumb and then I didn't write down how often I increased every other and every three rows but it's turning out better.
No puckering and a lot closer to the thumb. I decided to increase every other row once then every third row twice and at this point going to increase every other row. I'm liking it.
The green experimental 'Faux Braid Pad Foot' sock is... a work in progress and will be frogged and re-designed.
The issue is the braid pattern is a lot looser than the sole of the sock making it fit oddly and the slip stich fits too small. I looked at the slip stitch sole pattern and... they only do it on the ball and heel not the entire length. Which makes a lot more sense. I wrote addendums to the pattern for adding in extra stitches on the sides so will see how that works out. Will also look at the pattern again more closely, the reason why I only got the idea is because that is a top down pattern not toe up. It's a demo sock, now I know it doesn't work in this configuration and will try again.
That braid pattern though is really nice, I like it, does need some attention but it works well for a sock, just not this pattern. The slip stitch works really cool with the color pattern but maybe not in this configuration.
I will frog it all back to the toe and do the braid pattern and just knit on the sole. Also make it a bit wider as well.
That's been my knitting adventures for the week. More pictures and updates when there's more progress.
Sigh.
