Notes

A is for abacus - I used my custom Excel spreadsheet that pumps out heel directions when you load in the beginning stitch count
G is for garden - The color name is Hot Tamale. Tamales are grown in the garden
T is for taffy - cookies
T is for tortoise - Took me 30 days, which is really long for me for a pair of socks…but they are really long socks
U is for umpire - The day I was finishing them was the beginning of the NFL draft. I was stuck downtown because all the buses were screwed up.
V is for virtuoso - This is my 48th pair of socks and my 8th self-designed pair. Getting a little good at ‘em.
W is for waffle - I’ve eaten cookies for breakfast
Y is for yodeling - The name is a play on “Momma Loves Shortbread”, but since it’s my dad who is the cookie-eater, I changed it.
