More Coriolis

I finished a pair of Coriolis a while back. I made them in Dream in Color Smooshy. They were a nice easy project once they were set up. They fit well too.

I made them two at a time on magic loop which is not the best technique for these. The way the heel is constructed involves moving stitches from one needle to the other. Next time I will use dpns. Next up after Holliday knitting, Ocean Toes.

Jumped in With Both Feet!!

And promptly ended up with a BIG splash in the frog pond! I thought I understood the concept, so i jumped right in. I didn't knit the Coriolis sample sock. If I had I would not be ripping... I ended up with a 2 stitch bubble band and it looks really bad. I wanted a 4 stitch band width a bubble edge, OOPS!! I knew that I was ripping before I started the heel but I had read that some knitters were having trouble with the sizing so I wanted to check.. The sock fits great so I'll be frogging back to the toe and reknitting with the correct band. The pattern was a lot of fun so reknitting will not be a hardship.
I wanted to introduce myself, my name is Kaedean and I'm a rabid sock knitter. I have knit well over 300 pair of socks with I don't know how many UFO's or SSS but once I had 19 socks on needles. I don't think I have more than 6 on right now. I also love to knit lace. I'm mudgett on ravelry.

New member with her sock

I got an invitation yesterday and I finished my first adult-sized sock on the same day. I'm thirty something knitter from Finland and knit mostly socks. My Secret Pal spoiled me with this wonderful book I have read it a lot and knitted two pairs of learning socks. It was difficult to choose which socks to knit first. Sock in the picture is Bartholomew's Tantalizing Sock.

wah!

It's too big! I can see that other people are having problems with the fit of the Coriolis. Is this a problem with any of the other architectures?

So what should I do? The foot is too big so I could use the numbers for the next smaller mid-foot size. I have a smaller than average arch so will the sock still fit over the heel? Do I need to include J stitches? Or should I start the band sooner and automatically have more stitches at the heel turn and just decrease the extra stitches after the heel is finished?
