Leafling heel…..
Designer's Corner, General Knitting Questions, March Kit Questions | April 03, 2008
I have a question, but I guess it’s kinda sorta a general knitting question that happens to apply to this sock. I have noticed that most socks that do the heel “flap” the way it is in this sock (slip 1, k 1), never tell you which way to slip. Do I want the knit stitches to twist or not? I always assume when told to slip, if not specified, that it is knitwise. If they are supposed to be slipped purlwise, wouldn’t it make more sense to tell the knitter that? I looked through the abbreviations just to make sure I wasn’t missing some important note on this, so if it is stated in the pattern somewhere, I’m sorry for asking a stupid question. But, I seem to remember having this confusion before, so I think it’s standard isn’t it? So….best to clear up the confusion once and for all, lol. Thanks!!

March Kit Questions | April 03, 2008
Hi -
I haven’t cast on yet. The Serendipity socks were my first experience with STR and I like it very much. I made the Serendipity socks in Medium on US1 DPNs. I’m thinking that since the Leafling yarn is mediumweight and the pattern calls for US 2 needles, that I would make a Small. Does that sound right? (My feet are 6.5 - 7 and not particularly wide or narrow.)
Thanks,
Marlene (”she who doesn’t swatch socks”)
Is there anyone out there in Louisiana?
