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.

Well I went ahead and started a new blog. It won’t be anything like Knit Knack, it will be quite more subdued, but this way my family in Phoenix, Alaska, and Iowa can keep in touch with me better.
I’ve never gotten short row heels either. I like the old heel flap method. I don’t find much difference, and actually find the heel flap stay on my feet a bit better.
