06.27.2019 - Began with 14 stitches using Turkish cast on.
06.28.2019 - Increased to 64 stitches. Both toes done. Several additional rows done on one sock.
08.14.2019 - Finished heel on one sock. Used sweet tomato heel which is explained very thoroughly in this video and made it quite easy. Marked round just prior to heel with cotton thread then marked the end row of each wedge with cotton thread. Ripping back knitting is not the same as ripping back crochet so I wanted placeholders in case I needed them.
08.22.2019 - Finished first wedge and part of 2nd wedge of 2nd heel.
08.24.2019 - 2nd heel is finished. Now I’m just going to keep going on both socks until I run out of yarn - in stockinette then ribbing for the cuff. The trick will be keeping both socks even until the yarn is gone.
09.03.2019 - Socks are finished, they turned out great, and they fit. Used Jeny’s Surprisingly Stretchy Bind-off. Neat. Since my plan was to use up all of my handspun sock yarn, when it became obvious there was enough yarn to go pretty far up the leg, I started the ribbing so it would be stretchy enough to go over my calf.

Notes to self: Foot length measures 10” or 25 cm. Need to start heel when toe up foot portion of sock is 8” or 20 cm.

When doing the wedges for the Sweet Tomato Heel, I did 8 pairs on each side to get to approximately 1 inch of stitches left in the middle. If I ever make socks again, I’d decrease the pairs to maybe 6 on each side to slightly reduce the size of each wedge.

I’d also reduce the number of total stitches to 62 or 60. I’d like the sock to fit better around my instep. 64 stitches is roomy. Come to think of it, if I ever made socks again I’d just try to replicate the Thorlo pattern, with that band of ribbing around the instep. Using handspun yarn to make Thorlo-like socks would be quite the luxury.
