Fantastic job!!! Are they toe up or down and did you do one or two at a time?

    Cuff down is my preference. There is a version of Strong Heel for both directions though.
    These were done two at a time. For basic socks I might do one at a time but for pattern heavy ones I prefer to match each section as I do it to make sure I can repeat any mistakes on the second sock immediately so they match.

    Nice! Cool pattern and great handiwork!

    And TIL: There’s a different system of needle sizes in the US than in Germany. 00 apparently is a 1.75 mm!
