Notes

What I learned:

  • Figure 8 cast-on
  • Toe up knitting
  • Double knitting
  • Short row heel

23/07: Finished the heels. Decided to do this separate since it is only my 4th and 5th sock ever (Yes, I only finished on and a half pair! That’s why I figured out using the 2-in-1 method would be smart..) and my very first attempt on short row heels. This turned out OK, and I am now back on knitting both socks at the same time.

I use magic loop toe-up pattern, but use DPNs and the method from Knitty 2006 to knit two socks in one (the one inside the other).
