Socks are really truly done now
Last night I re-did part of the heel of the first sock I did to make it match the second one. I changed to hdc for the last few rounds; it made the heel cushier and made it take fewer rounds total to finish. I also ran some elastic sewing thread around the top of the ankle by threading it around the inside, putting the sock on, tightening until comfortably snug, and knotting it. The knot doesn’t show or feel lumpy because the elastic is so thin to begin with, and I can’t see the elastic at all unless I turn the cuff inside out and search for it. So I’m happy about that.
My other projects:
beaded shawl: still awaiting blocking. I’m planning on doing that tomorrow night. Still searching for those beads to attach the tassels, haven’t made it to Sally’s yet.
ribbed booties: got distracted from these a while back, really ought to pick them up again.
pineapple squares: I’ve got two out of four done and joined, and I’m on round 12 (out of 17) of the third one.
summer cloche: I keep starting this one and frogging it. I just can’t seem to get the gauge right—it keeps looking like a doll hat no matter what size hook I use.
Celtic bookmark: I have better lighting in the bedroom now, so I keep meaning to give this one another try.
