Socks, Socks and more socks. I am not sure why I insist on knitting them but I am determined that they will not beat me! I am working on a pair and the heel is driving me crazy. It is a pattern from Socks that Rocks but I am using yarn from Wullenstudio. A few weeks ago I remember knitting on the foot but then came the voice of a friend. "Why don't you do another repeat on the leg? Look at all the yarn you have". Well, that is where it all started. I ripped it all back to the leg and actually did another repeat of the pattern. I must admit, it will make the leg 2" longer and I will have plenty of yarn left. When I finally got to the heel again I tried to follow the pattern (not what I did the first time). It is a short row heel and I am not good at those wrap and turns. Well, somewhere along the way I dropped a stitch and NO ONE knew how to help me pick it up. Yes, you can all guess what happened. So after I took it back (again) I decided not to try that again.

Picture this, Saturday morning, knitting in Panera's with some of my best friends. We all had a nice breakfast and all had great projects to knit on. Knit, talk, knit, talk, eat brownies, manager comes over to admire our projects, talk, knit and then someone says to me. Hey, look at your nice heel. It looks great but where is your heel flap. You have got to be kidding me. Where is my brain? DON'T ANSWER THAT. Tomorrow is Monday morning knitting at Border's so I will try again.

I am going to try to make this blog public tonight. Let's see how it goes.

Later, Gater
