Notes

22 Oct
Attempting a short row heel. My first try did not work. 64 sts ended up much too big. Take two with 56 sts.

24 Oct
Used about 2.5g of contrasting yarn per heel.

28 Oct
One very tall sock is done. Each pin is where I either changed color (silver), increased (gold), decreased (pink) or changed needles (gray). Now I have to copy those pins for the second sock (currently about 2” above the heel) to finish the pair!

30 Oct
Just gotta weave in the ends now. Yay knee highs!
…
And now they are blocking! Whee!
