Toupie and I had a lazy Sunday yesterday. Didn’t make the
bed until it was time to change the bedding (Toupie’s favorite time of the
week). As you can see from the photo, someone didn’t mind.
Just for amusement: Toupie has a thing about my British Policing Manuals. Look at that guilty mug. The Roads Policing Manual has a few claw marks. I secretly think he's planning on taking and driving away.
Sock Knitting
I like everything about sock knitting except for heels. I’ve
tried and succeeded with the standard gusset heel, but I find it nerve-racking
and a couple of my science experiment socks in variegated yarn had terrible
pooling problems in the gusset area. I don’t know if it was me or the yarn. I
like the Fleegle Heel concept. What I haven’t worked out yet is getting a snug
heel fit using the Fleegle Heel. I’ve downloaded some patterns with the Strong
heel and will try those. My major triumph Sunday morning was completing an
afterthought heel and binding it off with Kitchener Stitch. The heel fits like
a glove. I’m using Lion Brand Fisherman’s Wool in Birch Tweed (this is their
one yarn in the Fisherman’s Wool line that isn’t 100% wool.) I’m using size 3
dpns. The socks fit snugly on my leg and foot. When you have bird legs and
pencil feet these minor details become important.Just for amusement: Toupie has a thing about my British Policing Manuals. Look at that guilty mug. The Roads Policing Manual has a few claw marks. I secretly think he's planning on taking and driving away.
