I've started the tulip heel. (they have to be teal blue, the only spare yarn I've got that won't clash with the pink sock.) and so far so good. when I get that part done, I'll try to take a picture.
I'm on the heel now!

Hi Norma,
Wow, that hasn't taken you long at all. Can't wait to see the picture.
Hugs,
Nora

Good, Norma! I plan to make spring gifts for DD and DIL. But I think the gauge was not good for my yarn. 30 sts pr. 4" is a bit too much for me. I think I have to use a bit less sts. May be 56 sts in stead of 64. Then I have to change the tulips pattern a bit, but I hope I will get them OK. How was your "leg" in the end??
I am now finishing a jacket which has been worked on, between all other things. Strange how easy it is to loose the interest when a thing takes that long. I have to be strict with myself, to get it finished before *the tulips*!! AUD ;-)
Norma, You are Fast!! I can't wait to see the pics! Debby (FL)
I'll be looking forward to seeing them, Norma.
Higs, Katherine
Well I like short socks, so it didn't take too long for the leg part. I didn't do it the full 7 inches that was called for; only 3 inches. So far so good. I wonder if I'll be able to figure out going back to the round part for the foot. :-) I have a few rows of the heel to complete yet, so I'll have to wait and see.
Good for you on the jacket! I only do small projects, that aren't too time consuming. I get bored easily.
Nora, & Deborah, not so fast actually. I cheated by making the leg part only
3 inches - I don't like tall socks - so I got there faster. Besides I didn't want to invest all that time and then find out I couldn't do it. I'd be really pe-od then! LOL Bad enough that I have to make two before I can say I did it!Join the Discussion
