So, I got this yarn and immediately loved it. Wanted it on my needles. But I wanted to focus on the SSK KALs. It was the end of May, not yet June. So I couldn’t start another project for the KAL.

I decided to cast on some plain vanilla socks.

The yarn was perfect as it came balled up. We were seeing folks the Sunday of Memorial Day. And I didn’t have time to put anything together.

Was planning on just knitting my standard Wendy Johnson Gusseted Toe-Up sock. Nothing fancy. But I overshot the point when I would add the gusset. So I could either rip back or figure out how to do an afterthought heel. With the stripping, it made sense to give it a shot.

Carin from Round the Twist loves the Crystal afterthought heel. I figured that would probably be the best one since it is supposed to have a bit of extra depth to it. I figure it is worth a try. Though I may also look at the Sock Architecture book instead.

These aren’t taking long. But they were put aside for all of June & a good portion of July while I tried to crack out a couple items for the final SSK KAL.

I knit on these during SSK a whole lot. It was nice as I hope people liked the yarn & hit The First Draft hard! grin Lindey rocks!
