I am now the proud owner of a pair of homeknit - by me - socks.
The project for my dad - well forget it. He appearently hates knit stuff - cant stand to touch it. Also the yarn never arrived - wonder where it is? I am guessing some postal worker hoped it was sexy underwear hehe.. He must have gotten mighty disappointed. I hope it will arrive
though, as DP would LOVE a pair of homeknit socks so..
Anyway here they are
For the heel then I used the method described in the recent Interweave Knits - where you dont wrap the stitch but use a yarn over method. The first sock had some pretty big holes but this second one is better looking. I made sure to tighten the yarn more and payed more attention to detail. When I knit the first sock I was pretty sure I would not use this method again - now I am not so sure anymore. I think the second heel turned out pretty ok. Only with a tiny hole..
