Vinnlands DONE! | May 18, 2007 @ 3:14 pm |
 Lovin’ the Vinnlands!  Detail of heel I just finished my Vinnlands! I got distracted in between since I had to frog one whole sock, but I made the right choice to frog. That’s why it took me so long to make ankle socks!! The gusset heel works MUCH better for me. I made them a little higher than ankle socks and the fit is just perfect! Some people asked about the heel, I just followed the Baudelaire pattern and instead of doing straight stockinette across, I did a sl1, k1. I always overestimate when to start the gussets (they say 3″), and I always do it too late. I should’ve learned from my last sock, but did I? Nein! But it’s only a tad long and I can pull it up and it’s just fine. Pattern: Vinnland by The AntiCraft (size for 9″ FC) |

which toe up gusset heel instructions did you follow? for my current wip, black toe up socks, i used the instructions for the toe up gusset heel from baudelaire, but here i see you have slipped stitch reinforcement right? they look gorgeous!

Niiiiiiice. Now I know how come you can churn out socks so fast, you don’t like long cuffs! I like long cuffs. That plus my huge-o-rama feet….well, you know the consequence.

Wow, I can’t believe how fast you are knitting! You are going to have to teach me continental knitting when you come over! Great socks. Oh and the expo is in October at Alexandra Palace – I think it is on the twisted thread website.

Love these. Love. These. They’re like sweet little green giant booties! I am going to make these as soon as my magic loop needles come in the mail. And yes, I will be using the magic cast on. Suggested by none other than you. :)
