valentine sock heel turn
Turned the first heel on my daughter’s Valentine’s Day socks. It’s an eye of partridge stitch on the back, reinforced with wool/nylon thread. Hopefully these won’t wear through as fast. They’re going to be murder to darn. She seems fine with store bought holiday-themed socks, so I’m going to ply her with those so she won’t want to wear these every day. I hope.

These socks are going on the back burner now as I plow ahead on the Jayne hat line. I want to get back ahead of the curve. A very nice woman just ordered enough hats for everybody in her Browncoat family, including toddlers. They’re for Christmas photos for this coming year. I may have to insist on being on her Christmas card list, because that sounds awesome.

I should really put up a Jayne hat gallery at some point. There are some stellar pics that really should be shared. Today’s favorite: halfway down on this page. Heh.

    These are coming out really cute.

    Are you useing a variegated pink and then working in all of the purple? It’s kind of hard to tell from my unknowledgeable eye!

    I want to do socks still! Is it about 1 sock per 50 gram ball? If I order yarn here soon I don’t want to order too little.

    I’d be interested in seeing how the inside looks, too. I’m curious.

    Also, do you have a tutorial on how to insert lifelines you could share? I really need to learn how to do this correctly lol.
