Garter Stripe Baby Socks

Pattern from www.jenniferhoel.wordpress.com
Row 11 - has error - should be: YO, K18, place YO on needle with instep stitches, K2tog, K16, move YO to needle with instep stitches, SSK, K18 (36 sts)
Yarn/amount: Koigu fingering; 1 ball was enough for 2 pairs (I made three socks)
Needles: size 2 double pointed
Gauge: 7.5 sts/inch - actual (project gauge 8 sts/inch)

Finished measurements (newborn size) -
circumference: 4 7/8 (according to project specs, 4.5)
cuff to heel length: 3.5 (consistent with project specs)
foot length: 3.5 (consistent with project specs)
width of foot: 2.25 (not given)

Technique - YO short-row method (for making the heal)
Not the neatest-looking...wonder how it compares to other short-row methods
Didn't like/was confused by sssp decrease (used for turning the heel and turning the toe) - also not neat looking
