\nNotes:<\/b> Changed the heel to an eye of partridge<\/a> heel, because it’s sturdy and I like the way it looks. Otherwise, these were according to pattern.<\/p>\n

There is one difference, though. Because I had to steal time here and there to work on these, a lot of time passed between the first and second sock. When I got to the toe of sock two, I thought that I had switched to a size 0 for the toe on sock 1, so I switched to a 0 for sock 2. Apparently not. One toe does look a little wider than the other. However, since I had also muffed the foot on sock two once and had to rip back, I didn’t feel like re-knitting it. I decided it was good enough and sewed the toe closed. So one toe is a little snugger than the other. Big whoop.<\/p>\n

These were originally going to be for me, but someone on Facebook admired them so greatly I decided to give them to her. She was my daughter’s preschool teacher, and a very good one. She has since moved over to our local children’s library\/theater, called Imaginon<\/a>, and she’s very good over there too. This week the Charlotte City Council announced massive budget cuts, including eliminating 140 library jobs and closing 12 branches<\/a>. She’s having a bad week, waiting to see what her future is, and I think she needs happy feet. Here’s hoping that in this troubled time, she – and everyone affected – finds the feet of a dancer.<\/a> I’m thinking of you, friend!
