I just had to share. I was not feeling very energetic this weekend so I spent a lot of time sitting with my knitting. My Beloved's sock. He wish to have tall socks and I got a handle on the top. It is really not a cuff because it is thirteen inches long. There are many errors and I showed it to him. He likes the errors and the uniqueness of the errors. I think he may be a bit touched.
I had always heard stories from my Father about my Grandmother knitting socks. He always made it seem that the heels were painful. With those stories and knowing my Grandmother was a fabulous knitter, I approached the heel with some trepidation. It was much easier then I expected! I just followed the pattern. Since I have already changed the pattern once, this is probably a good thing. This sock was supposed to be a crew length, not to the knee!
I am so pleased. The sock has a heel. I know I will have to do it again and I am hoping to have enough patience with myself that there will be ease.
