Heels and Toes
Here is the proof that I’m still knitting….and also that I really do have willpower. (OK, it was made easier by the fact that I only brought these orphan sock projects with me and left all the good, new, exciting stuff at home!).
So, here they are…
Heel: Giotto by Anna Bell in lime green Soja by Lana Grossa, which is a tricky little number, but it is possible to do it in front of the TV as long as you don’t mind missing chunks of whatever you’re watching. I absolutely adore the picot edging on the top of these socks, so cute and so clever and actually deceptively easy! Positively the most girls socks I’ve ever knitted!
Toe: Appunto in pinky purple yarn, both from Three Irish Girls. Involves constant chart-reading and I can only manage it while listening to something non-challenging on the radio. It took me several attempts (again) to get the toe started, but I’m pleased as punch that it worked eventually. It’s always good to keep the little grey cells ticking over!
These are my last two unfinished knitting projects and I’m polishing my halo as I write!!

hiking in the alps, knitting socks, training for a marathon, quilting, raising teens…is there anything you can’t do? you are my new hero!

My very simple sock is coming along nicely. I’ve a long way to go to match your expertise with these beautiful socks though!
