new sock, new yarn, new opportunities to try something different. i feel like i'm getting closer to a better fitting product as i continue to rework my pattern, but it is an ongoing exercise in patience. lately, i've been researching short heel techniques that jenny passed along to me in hopes of achieving a seamless toe - but maybe i'll apply it to a heel as well. i'd love to find a way to avoid those tricky gusset holes, which drive me nuts. as always, more testing to be done...
your doing beautifully. gorgeous photos...as usual.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous yarn!
ReplyDeleteLooking good. The sock yarn is lovely.
ReplyDeleteYou have a very lovely blog, I just found it. Pretty knitting too!
ReplyDeleteSuch pretty yarn.
ReplyDeleteOhhh. Nice. There is nothing better than handknit socks! Short rowing is my fave way to shape a heel, it always turns out perfect(and as long as you wrap, no holes!)
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful sock.
ReplyDeleteDo you check your gauge throughout your knitting?
@melissa - i actually don't check my gauge while i'm knitting, but i'm always thinking about my tension - constantly! i try to check the piece every 4 rows or so to be sure everything is uniform.
