Best Laid Plans

I thought I was going to work on the gusset of my sock last night and make some progress.  When I picked all the stitches up and began to work the first round, I realized that I had worked the heel turn in normal fashion.  This means in normal stockinette…NOT in reverse stockinette.  I briefly went forward (about 10 STS) and thought I will have one sock with a Princess foot and one with a normal foot and I can wear them and decide which I like better.  I quickly kiboshed that idea and came to the sad realization that I needed to rip back.

Actually, before this little kink, I also discovered that I did not slip 3 STS before the heel flap to make the pattern more centered on top of the foot.   I had already decided that it would not be that big of a deal and I was NOT ripping the heel flap out.  I could not live with the unPrincess-like foot though, soooo I spent the evening ripping the heel turn out, reworking it and picking up the gusset STS again.   I now have my markers in place and a couple of decrease rounds made.

Last night, I found a free pattern that was listed in Threadbear’s weekly newsletter that I HAVE to make.  It is to die for!  It is one of those that when you see it, you immediately start inventorying (sp?) your stash and sorting through what would work and mentally shopping online at the same time!

Go see this beautiful Primavera sock!
