Sock Heels

I just came across this chart for various sock heels, so thought I'd share. I'll be trying out the various types of heels. http://www.socknitters.com/Tips/heels_by_the_number.htm

I hope that link is clickable, but I'll also put it in my list of knitting links in the sidebar. I've been busy knitting socks. In the photo, the lefthand and middle pair were knitted toe-up, and the righthand socks were cuff-down. They'll be going to CIC for the Big Kids Challenge.

The top-down raglan will also go to CIC. It seems to be taking way too long. I'm eager to get on with other CIC sweaters, in bulkier wool. I hope to make significant progress while on nightshift the next 2 nights. Here's hoping! :D

Top-Down Raglan, Finished!

Hooray! The top-down raglan is finished. I plan to make more of these. I wish I had a pattern to make these in a bulkier yarn, but I'll just have to do the math myself, darn. I think I can, I think I can... :D Anyway, this one is size 6, and knit in Paton's Classic Wool in "Palais". It will go to CIC.

The other sweater is knit with Caron's Black Magic in "Violet Sky" (I think, but I already can't find the label), and Paton's Classic Wool. It's size 2, and is destined for CIC's Fall sweater challenge. I've cast on another that will be solid red, in Paton's Classic Wool, also for CIC.

This post could have been called "Long time, no blog." Where does the time go?! Hallowe'en has been and gone, and now we'll be winding up for Xmas. Yikes! I'll try really hard to post more often. :D

Top-Down Raglan Progress

This is my first top-down raglan, destined for CIC. I'm really enjoying seeing it come alive as I knit. I like the look of a raglan, but hate the fiddly sewing of the seams, so this is the perfect pattern for me. This pattern is from Paton's Upside Downers, and it's knit with Paton's Classic Wool, in Palais. Love their new variegated colours!
