Knitting and other Creative Endeavors

The vintage book looked more difficult to me, maybe because the sensational book has all those fancy color-coded columns and stuff. The stitch patterns themselves aren't too bad--I've been doing fancier (or just as fancy) stuff with worsted-weight yarn, so it's just the same stuff on a smaller scale. I can live with that.

Yes, I'm on the 4-stitch pattern. Worked 2 rows last night of the cuff. Haven't decided which stitch pattern to follow yet--I turned the page and discovered 6 more options, none of which look too difficult. I have mixed feelings about all these choices.

As written, the heel flap pattern (the one given for the 4-stitch patterns) would look like this:

KKKPPPPPPPPPPPPP (wrong side)
PPPKSKSKSKSKSPPP (right side)

The last three of the wrong side row look to me like they ought to be knits. It just looks funny to me. I may need to give in and trust the sockmaster.
