I’ve gone backwards…

12/21/2004

I now have NO heel on my stocking! Yikes!

Despite a two hour Stitch ‘n Bitch session and more knitting once I got home I now have no heel. I pulled back three or four times and still was running into troubles. Finally, I decided to pull it all back, thinking the part of the yarn that had been knit so many times was looking bad. So, I must start again.

I’m thinking since I’ve successfully completed wrapped short rows with no problems whatsoever that I shall use a wrapped short row heel. In the book I got from my SP3 there is a garter stitch short row heel. I’m thinking I might opt for that. It’ll tie in the garter stitch lace at the top and should go a bit faster with no purl rows.

Wish me luck - puhleeeeze. . .
