Thanks!

Monkey Pattern

I feel like I’m in the crapper since I wasn’t able to go to Camp Crows feet, maybe next year. But is it true we will be able to get the little monkey pattern here? I am a HUGE sock monkey fan, I think all of us who grew up in the 50’s and 60’s are. If so will the pattern be for sale, or is it going to be shared. Thanks. ps looking forward to stitches midwest, signed up for the sock class with JC.

Leafling heel…..

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!!
