Since hubby drove to & from Orlando yesterday, I was able to turn the heels. woo-hoo! Unfortunately, I did the first one wrong and had to rip the whole thing out because I ended the heel flap (is this what its called?) on a purl row instead of a knit row. I wasn't sure where the error was so the whole thing came out. The second time I caught an error on the second to last row of the turning and was able to fix it. The yarn is holding up well to my frogging & re-knitting.
Here are my heels:

You can really see the pattern across the top now:
Even hubby likes them. :-) He also said I should make him some house socks--hopefully those won't go the way of the sweaters...
I am very happy with these and am hoping that the yarn holds out for a knee-high sock. I'm thinking increases along the sides so that the lace pattern continues on the front and back. I should have time to work on these over the weekend.

Those are looking awesome!
And J is succumbing to the call of the handknit sock, eh? He and Kris can compare them at the Fest. :D
They look great! Are you sure this is your first time knitting socks?
Yes, it's official ;)
I have the pattern, and today I have dyed yarn for your socks, now I have to find suitable set of dpns.
Are you excited? Would you like to have a peak?
Maybe someday, sometime.. :)
Have a nice week.
Yours, secret sockapalooza pal
