Twinkleberry finished
I finished the toe with a skein of similar yarn but slightly different fiber content. I actually cant tell which sock has the different toe unless I look really close, so that’s a relief. I’m disappointed I didn’t just try to do the short-row heels on this pair. I have just never gotten the hang of those heels and really don’t actually LIKE them any better than a standard heel flap and heel, so the incentive just wasn’t there to make it “click” in my brain. However, the textured eye of partridge heel flap was probably a little bit “much” this time. It may look different on a foot, but as a flat unblocked sock, I don’t like it this time. Otherwise, though, this pattern is really a fun knit. I am actually thinking that it’d be a cool pattern to substitute for EZ’s February baby sweater, and I just might take that project on one of these days. Next sock project, though is SPM’s “Earl Grey” socks in black. Yeah - really enjoy challenging my eyesight trying to work a pattern (albeit a small one) into a black anything…but then, that’s how I roll.
