I just completed the knitting equivalent to a triple axle with a half twist - knitting a short-row heel on a sock while using the Magic Loop method. For you non-knitters, I know this sounds like Greek, but I'm very proud of myself for figuring this out. I even nailed the landing! While there are more difficult knitting maneuvers, for a novice like myself this was a challenge. These Falling Leaves socks have really stretched my horizons:
- figure 8 cast on (no grafting of the toe!)
- lace patterned socks
- short row heels
- my first toe-up pair
- knitting on 2.25mm needles (never again- ugh!)
Now maybe my next challenge will be to take up ice skating... probably not while pregnant, though.
