Notes

Toe-up self-striping yarn with constrasting (complimentary, really) toes and heels. I cast on 24 sts, increased to 60, and knit 5 rows even after I hit 60 sts before switching to the Dexter yarn.

Started the heel 2” before the end of the foot (12 stripes) and will w&t until 12 sts remain unwrapped. Argh! Black sock yarn does not make w&ts easy.:P

OMG THESE SOCKS ARE AWESOME!!!
