Not Sock Yet--
But they will be soon! Instead of a
ribbed cuff, I went with garter stitch, --the body of the socks is
ribbing—I didn't think a ribbed cuff would make much of
difference—I tried out a few patterns for the ribbing, and I didn't
like any. I added a picot in line with the purls in the body of the
sock, and I think its a nice touch.
So the waste yarn has been removed, and
replace with needles. I will knit the heels down, so I am working
from the outside of yarn cake, and will start with orange. This will
create a double orange stripe on the sole of the sock, but will make
the back of the sock look perfect.
Even before I knit the first stitch of
the heel, you can see how the little gusset add ease—I will add
more ease by adding a few extra stitches before I start the heel—so
30 stitches (half the total number in the sock with become 32 (64
total) stitches, and this will add more ease.. another half inch
almost.
So, when next seen, they will be socks!
