INside Out--Challenge for 2020!

Happy New Year!  Welcome 2020!  I love the sound of 2020--it means each day is a new adventure--a chance to make a difference in my life or someone else--to be kind--encouraging and feel blessed!
And best of all--to learn new skills--e.g. like:

the challenge of knitting inside out!  Say what??  fascinating knitting term--
This is a mystery sock beginning today!! and it's free!
Designed by KnittyMelissa, who has her own Youtube channel
and you can find the pattern on Ravelry
Below is her instructional video Knitting Inside Out

The name is inspired by the Robert Frost poem “Stopping By Woods on a Snowy Evening.” These socks would be perfect to wear as you take a moment to stop and watch the woods fill up with snow.
Materials:
  • Fingering weight sock yarn – 48 (52, 56, 60) grams main color (MC) and 38 (40, 42, 44) grams contrast color (CC). The charts are written for a darker MC. It is recommended that MC be solid. The CC can be solid, speckled, tonal, or very lightly variegated. There should be good contrast between the yarns and no overlapping colors. Note that yarn usage is dependent on gauge and foot length. For tighter gauge or longer-than-average feet, you may need more of each color.
  • One US size 1 (2.25mm) circular needle, 32” or longer
  • One US size 1.5 (2.5mm) circular needle, 32” or longer (optional for colorwork)
  • Locking/removable stitch markers & tapestry needle
This pattern is written for magic loop but can be adapted to your preferred needle type.
Four Sizes:
Small - 60 sts (Medium - 68 sts, Large - 76 sts, XL – 84 sts)
Gauge:
8 or 9 spi (stitches per inch) in 2-color stranded colorwork
  • At 9 spi, the sock will be 6.7” (7.5”, 8.4”, 9.3”) in circumference.
  • At 8 spi, the sock will be 7.5” (8.5”, 9.5”, 10.5”) in circumference.

I'm already thinking about the new year and new beginnings--2024 was a lost year as far as new quilt starts--there was not a one began. ...
