I really like the “Afterthought Heel” because of it’s look. It makes your socks look like they have the “Short-row” or “Wrapped heel” just like store bought socks, but the afterthought heel is so much easier to construct and I don’t get holes like I did with the short-row heel. Ms. Shaefer has a great […]
On Feb. 2, 2007, it was reported that Phil the famous groundhog of PA, didn’t see a shadow and that we could expect an early spring. Now I’m not one to take advice from a groundhog as to whether (no pun intended) I should put away my winter sweaters […]

Tomorrow, I will be at the LYS and I hope there is someone to teach. Maybe if I stand outside by the […]
Well lookie here! Though I’m no where near done with my fair isle socks, I had to order a bunch of stuff from Knit Picks. I’ve got: 12 skeins of black for the SOCKS FOR SOLDIERS socks and the pattern and yarns for the TULIP & GINGHAM SOCKS for me! Now […]
Here is the new improved version of my fair isle socks (so far). I bought some Paton’s Grass Green to highlight the design. I think the three colors work well together. I love the design and am getting better at weaving in my yarn in the back and I can say, “Look Mom, no floats!”
I like the design I got from Jessica Tromp’s site

She’s got a great amount of varied designs and colors to […]
