Illness has one or two things to recommend it. I might be downing antibitoics and sleeping for England but the WIPs are flying off the needles too.
This week we have some lovely socks - made with the Knitting Goddess Fairy Tale club yarn. February's month is called Snow Blindness and I just loved the shades of blue in this. I wanted to relax and enjoy the colours so I opted for another plain 64st toe-up vanilla sock with a Fish Lips Kiss heel which is rapidly becoming a favourite.
I love the fact that the heel has very little counting and fiddling involved - making it much easier to tackle when out and about. With my normal toe-up heel turn I find that I have to allow enough time to get the turn done in one sitting. If I put it down and come back to it later it's touch and go whether I will get in a tangle or not.
I've also finished my Irish Coffee sweater and it is blocking currently - so pictures will have to wait until a) it is dry, b) we have some sunshine and c) I can locate where DS2 has hidden my phone charger :)
I love the socks! I haven't tried the FLK heel yet, but if it's becoming a favorite, I need to try it. Have a good weekend.
ReplyDeleteThank you - I can highly recommend the heel. It works like magic.
Deleteoooh I really like the look of that FLK, might have to give it a try.
ReplyDeleteThank you - it's a good fit too. I know I struggle with the fit on toe-up heels sometimes but these are great.
DeleteI like the FLKH because I can do it without thinking. It's as straight forward as the rest of the sock, plus it fits like a dream.
ReplyDeleteMy feelings exactly. Some days you just need to keep things simple.
