9/6 update: I rock. In the time it took to watch Speed, I did 1.25 heels. That’s faster than ever, and the stitches look perfect.
I took a break from these to work on one of my many planned Christmas presents, so they’ll take longer than if I were working non-stop, but they are coming along nicely.
Finished with a turning row and a few rows opposite, followed by a bit of increase to make more of a ruffley picot edge.

I wanted some basic slippers. Sarah admired my library slippers with the fuzzy top and the padding in the bottom, so I wanted those to be elements of these socks too. I did short row toes and heels similar to Knitty’s Twinkle toes and then added eyelets so a piece of yarn could be woven…
