I was knitting on a sock called Ankle Arches and then I realized something wasn't quite right. The pattern clearly states that the heel turn is a Dutch heel well, the author of this particular pattern didn't put it in the pattern. I was knitting along without the heel turn and realized something was horribly wrong. My sock was not looking anything like the picture. So, I ripped that sucker off of my needles. I think the color of the yarn was throwing me, too. It was a pretty coral but, it just annoyed the hell out of me.
So, I picked up my suri alpaca/merino blend yarn, End of Summer and started to knit on a scarf out of the Lace of Estonia book and I am working on Raha if you happen to have the book and it is looking really awesome. I can't wait to see more of this pattern emerge, I might even knit it again in another hand painted yarn.
I am knitting it on US 5's even though the pattern calls for US 4's. This is just me and the only needle I could find last night. I was knitting on it until about midnight and then put it down to read on my Kindle for a bit before bed.
