Socks, Socks, Lots of Socks

March 23rd, 2007

Read that title with a tune in your head, and it’ll convey exactly how I’m feeling. I’m feeling the spring weather, the new projects, the enjoyment in knitting. Ohh, perhaps I’ll do up a little spinning tonight as well!

Beware, crappy haphazardly taken photos ahead.

Lots of work on the eye of the partridge heel lately, and I think I like it. I’ve noticed that it seems to take up more rows to fill the same amount of space as a stockinette heel flap. You’ll see in the pictures later (when I post a Heel Compendium bit for eye of the partridge) how long the gusset will be if you do what seems traditional to me by knitting one plain row between every decrease row. I was searching for a project to start the other night (something simple) and decided to start on a pair of socks for a Christmas gift. For these I decided to do the decrease rows every row, rather than every other as I did for the Heel Compendium sample. Anyone else find they need to do this?

Oh, and I thought about adding a simple way of keeping track of comments and responses on the blog. I try to e-mail my responses to commenters most of the time, but sometimes commenters respond to other commenters. Check to the left and you’ll see “Recent Comments”. Just hover your mouse over that and you’ll see a list of the most recent (will make it look prettier later). If it doesn’t work when you hover over the text, just click the link and you’ll be brought to a new page with all the newest comments.

Man, this is one of my most haphazardly crappy posts ever.
