Well tough noogies. I mean, it's a lovely heel flap, don't get me wrong, and it's interesting the way that the colors come across in it. (That doesn't mean I neccessarily like it, just that I find it intriguing.) But it doesn't really, truly merit a photo session at this point. I mean, it's just a heel flap, flapping away on its end of the Addi...
But it's there, and there's always something to be said for progress, even if it is rather slow. OK, not quite an inch of sock and most of a heel flap in less than two hours isn't that shabby, especially at this miniscule gauge I'm getting on US1 needles. And I had to rip out the heel flap after about 6 or 8 rows because I forgot that I needed slip stitches on both sides for when I go to pick up stitches. Yup, that's right, I'm doing this sock without the benefit of a "printed pattern" although I have patterns around for plenty of heels turned on 33 stitches, so I won't have any trouble. I was gonna say, "if I get stuck," but I know that I won't. That's how confident I am in my heel-turning ability. Of course, now that I said that, I'm feeling cocky, and I'm worried that will turn out to be a curse of some sort.
Well, you can't win 'em all. But I do know I will conquer this sock. And hopefully, eventually, her twin. (Are socks female? Why did I just call this one a her?)
What else? Hmmm, what else? I got a fax today at work from Knit NY telling me to send my yarn-hungry guests to them. Little do they know that I already knew about there store and have spent many an hour there. Bwah-ha-ha! So I plan to go in and joke about the fax sometime soon. Miriam, get ready!!!
It's getting close to time to go to London... I better finish the Elephant Waistcoat steeks... maybe tomorrow. After all, tomorrow is another day...
