Notes

Great tutorial for two at a time socks! Toe up with a short row heal. Figure 8 cast on means no closing the toe later!
Following the tutorial blindly lead to me creating very, very big socks. I frogged my first attempt then cast on again but only increased to 16 on each side.
Added lace (centered wishbone) to top of sock to make them airier (worsted is very thick stuff for socks!)
First short row heel=disaster. I W&T on too many stitches and ended up creating a pocket instead of a heel. Frogged back again.
First heel W&T had tons of holes? Second heel I tried no wrap heel and it turned out much better but still had holes. I obviously need to practice.
Finished but acrylic worsted socks suck!
