There Has Been *Some* Knitting…
Despite the heat, the gardening, the canning and all the other craziness of summer stuff there has been a bit of knitting going on. I finally settled on a stitch pattern for the Panda Cotton toes I had done. The color combined with the stitch pattern had me thinking of a half of a ruby red grapefruit so I was thinking I’d call them ruby red, but the gals at SnB didn’t think it fit. Plus, I kind of hate to be married so closely to a specific color with the name. They thought it looked like a crystal structure. What does it look like to you?
There hasn’t been a ton of progress on this one. Partially because I’m knitting them two at a time. Partly because I still need to consult a chart and until we had printing working here I had to work out of my knitting journal which isn’t portable or TV watching friendly (not enough contrast).
I’m thinking I’m going to be trying out a new heel on these. I’m not yet sure what, but I’m feeling a bit in a rut on the heel front. I suspect the heel flap and gusset will always be near and dear to me. I have mixed it up and done some short row heels this summer, but I’m feeling like branching out :-) Do you have a favorite toe-up (or direction indifferent) heel?
