It's been a busy, busy week for me in my knitting. I've finished two hats. (Yes, two!!) I've almost made a good amount of progress in my two latest sock projects. I apologize for the quality of pictures. I'm back at work full time after recovering from my time in the hospital, so I'm back to artifical lighting until the days get a little longer.
My Monkeys have gotten past the heel turn and through half the gusset. The pattern for these is SO easy to memorize. Definitely a super fun knit!
My Figit socks from my work meetings has been growing steadily for the past two weeks. I'm almost ready to begin the toe on the first one. I decided to be a bit adventerous with this pair and tried out a sweet tomato heel. It's very easy, and requires absolutely no math. Its a matter of just making three wedges to account of the shape of the heel. It's very interesting, but I think for my nonstriping socks I'll stick to the heel flap and gusset for durability.

Awesome socks, I'm a sucker for stripes!
ReplyDeleteLove the top socks - they are gorgeous
ReplyDeleteLovelovelove those stripes!
ReplyDeleteThe lace socks are great!
ReplyDeleteI've never done that heel. I'm a heel flap girl typically, but that heel looks fantastic with the stripes!
ReplyDeleteThey are looking good!
ReplyDeleteLove the monkies! Not only is a fun knit but it's also a really comfortable sock to wear. I guess that's why it's soooo popular. I've watched a couple of tutorials on the Sweet Tomato heel. I thought I might try it on some Christmas Stockings!
