I designed project trackers! This is the large print version for tired eyes. So much easier than using apps, scraps of paper or a plain notebook.
Three project sizes, a handy ruler and hook guide inside the cover and plenty of rooms for notes in each pattern.

Regular size print here.
I have had bad eyesight since age 18 so large print is a godsend when you can’t see apps and dark yarn, let alone going from one to the other on a crochet-a-thon during a netflix binge.

Using a tapestry needle double threaded with color 1 yarn work small back and forth stitches to bring sides together. Secure and weave in ends.
Accent. Cut a 36” length of each color yarn and secure ends with a triple knot so it’s a bit bulky to avoid pushing through opposite side. See video how to work the stitches and finishing.
Finishing rows: Round 1: insert color 1 at top of heel center stitch and ch 1. SC around working sc2tg at heel and points shown below then slip to join round
Round 2. ch 1 sc around.
