I'm just saying that there are times that some people do recommend switching to smaller needles, so it's not too terribly weird.

I learned some cool knitting terms at the Pod's house.

FROGGING: undoing an entire project because you rip it rip it

TINK: To un-knit (Tink is Knit spelled backwards)

My stash enrichment expeditions have been getting out of hand. I need to process this damn yarn.

I might actually get some sewing done this weekend. I have to decide - early 16th c German? Mid-to-late 16th c German? Early 15th c continental? Early 16th c Florentine? Or bend to peer pressure from my minion and go for the Venetian?

uh.....hm.....fabric....

I hadn't actually gotten as far as the outer fabric yet. I'd have to make the undergarments first, which are all white.

Hmmmm. I have some "kumquat" linen I'd intended to use for a florentine tourney dress. Might use the cherry red linen for sleeves.

I have a silk/wool herringbone that needs to be dyed so it's not really a color yet. I had been planning to use it for a court florentine, or possibly a houppelande.

I have the royal-ish blue wool and the med-dark lavender wool that as as yet unassigned that were probably going to be either elizabethan or houppelande. Or a gothic fitted dress, if I ever get up the nerve to try. Germans/Italians didn't seem to use much in those colors.

If I did Venetian or German I'd probably have to go shopping. Horrors!

I know I have more up there in my bins, I've just forgotten. I might have some cotton velvet in a light green.

I like the idea of kumquat linen with cherry red, but I first pictures Kiwi linen with cherry red and thought that was lovely too - but a bit odd. I have this color thing lately. I'm starting to like it.

Between that and the TV watching.....I'm scared.

So I realized after I turned the heel of a new sock last night that the yarn I was using looked way better in plain ol' stockinette stitch than what I had used. I agonized about it for a while then took the needles out.

The good thing was that I could then try it on for size. Now I know I have the right # of stitches cast on.

So now the question is: to rib, or not to rib?

Ribbing the heel? Like the sl1 k1 pattern?

Matterhorn Fan · 08-06-2006, 02:03 PM

No, as in the rest of the sock. The ankle. I'll be starting over completely.
