      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!

      Yes. The US has its own special system of nonsense for needle sizes. Worse yet, it isn’t standardized once you drop below 2mm. Sometimes you find 000 1.75mm and sometimes you find 00 1.5mm.
