Quickest socks I’ve ever knit! If I hadn’t stalled out at and after the heel turn, it would have been under 2 weeks. Of course, these are ankle highs, so there is that. Still, adorable socks!

I did the ears intarsia in the round, which was tricky. Not the best attempt in the world, but I’m glad I tried it.

These socks killed me with the cute. I advise not doing the face details until the end, because you will be so distracted every single time they face you that you’ll die from the cute. (Though it was good motivation!)

Mods:
My gauge was way off, so I increased to 72 stitches. I also knit the length above the heel a bit longer because of gauge issues, but also because the heel turn didn’t quick come up high enough (also a gauge issue?).

This was my first short row heel, and I didn’t like it as much. I wasn’t a fan of the gaps, so to deal with them I picked up the wraps (not in the instructions). I also didn’t like the fit on me. Still, I’m glad I did it to figure that out!
