First sock finished :D

Details:
CO 30 - provisional crochet cast on
Work toe as written (probably about 36 rows?)
K 48 rows to get foot length
Work heel as written (same as toe)
K 15 rows to get ankle length
K3P3 ribbing for 5 rows.

Problems/Thoughts:
Holes at the heel joins - no noticeable when on foot, but might be worth looking into before embarking on next pair of socks
Only just about ankle length - suggest this to be my minimum no. of rows after heel for a toe up sock :P (I was being impatient to finish me thinks - also avoiding playing yarn chicken…)

Finished the second sock - woooo!
Turns out that yarn chicken wasn’t going to be a problem - I reckon I was just impatient!
Sewed up the holes at the heel - no-one will know any different! (Note to self: have a look at ways to avoid these holes!)
More notes for self: Next time doing socks with variegated yarn it might be worth pattern matching, although I do like these ones as they are - but if gifting to anyone with more OCD like tendencies it might be a problem!
All in all - very pleased with my socks! Time to plan the next ones!
