Sock update

It has been a while since I posted about the socks I'm making for my daughter so I thought I would post an update. Well I was able to redo all the stitches that my son let loose, and except for one single stitch all went well...I think what happened was that I may have accidentally pulled a stitch up from the previous row and put it on the needles too, but unless you are looking for it you would never know.

I am a tad disappointed with the way the double-decreases look...the instructions called it the back-seam so I assumed that they were supposed to be noticable, but I don't really like them. But being that I am at the heel there is NO WAY I am ripping it all out and starting new...the tough part will be resisting the urge to fix the problem on the second sock, after all they should match.

I was digging thru my stash and found several possibilities for my HSS partners socks and started playing with them, here is a shot of one possible pair:

But I think I may have found the perfect yarn on line (not telling where) I just have to get over the fact that I can't get it on sale....I hate paying full price for ANYTHING....but it would be perfect and would open an entire realm of possiblities....I could even get lacy with it if I wanted too....we will see. I have to look at some more patterns...to my advantage my partner likes the shorter crew socks so one skein should do the trick.
