Notes

I found the yarn slightly on the dull side, so brightened it up a bit with the heels :)

This is my first time (and possibly last) using the afterthought heel - I find it doesn’t seem to fit very well, or not as well as other heels anyway.

26th April 2021:
Resurrected after three and a half years. Only needed half a sock to finish. Done now, with a different coloured heel…

It’s the first time I’ve used this afterthought heel. Doesn’t fit as well as others, probably won’t use it again, although it’s good to add a contrast colour.
