WIP Wednesday

I decided to create a new feature, to help me update more regularly, called WIP (Work-in-Progress) Wednesday. The idea comes from redknits.wordpress.com, who has Covet Wednesdays, but I like the alliteration of WIP Wednesday better, and I have several WIP to document, anyway.

When I post a WIP here, it will be something that I'm actively working on. Today, I'd like to document my blue Fleegle socks, in Stroll Sport, that I began in early spring and recently began to actively knit again. They were meant to have a contrast short-row heel, but it evaded me for long enough (despite knitting a short-row toe adequately) that I sought out a new method.

I think the Fleegle is an elegant, but hard to measure heel. I'm using kfb because they're easier for me. My sock is probably going to be too long for my foot. She only tells you to start the increases during the period when "the sock reaches the part where your ankle meets your leg" but for some people, I suppose, that's too far back. I'm going to try it on when I get well past the turn, and if it flops around, I guess I'll have to rip back. But these *will* get finished. Pictures to come.
