somebody’s got a problem…
or not…
Is this an example of mid-summer startitis, (sock edition) or just Sombody-Loves-Turning-a-Good-Heel?
While organizing the stash for some fall designs, it was a short fall into the abyss of really pretty sock stash here at Studio Chic!
Having a plethora of #1 circular needles only aggravated the frenzy (there’s a couple of short “tubes” still at the ankle stage that didn’t make it into this picture).
Those, however are actually for a design that’s in the baby stages… :)
But I loove making a Dutch Heel with a slip-stitch flap! Send the interventionists!
…here’s the unscientific recipe that I wing it with…
Slip Stitch Heel Flap (worked over ~1/2 sock sts)
Row 1 (& all RSR): *Sl 1 pwise, K 1* rep across.
Row 2 (and all WSR): Sl 1 pwise, P across.
Rep last 2 rows until desired length.
Dutch Heel
Row 1 (RS): Sl 1 pwise, k ~2/3 of flap sts, ssk, turn.
Row 2 (WS): Sl 1 pwise, p across to 1 st before gap, p2tog, turn.
Row 3 (RS): Sl 1 pwise, k across to 1 st before gap, ssk, turn.
Rep until all sts are worked.
please tell me what the name of that wonderful yellow striped yarn is….it’s great. thanks.
Isn’t it great! That’s Lorna’s Laces SHEPARD SOCK in the color Bumblebee. :)
Just cast on a pair of socks as a victory lap for finally finishing my Cassidy. I’ll have to test out this heel. Thanks!
I only work one project at a time. I think I might go crazy if I tried a couple at one time. Maybe that is because I am not very experienced. or, maybe it is because I’m a smidge compulsive and need to go from A to Z without veering off on sidetracks. (Ha ha).
But, your sock yarns are yummy!
