Notes

I tried to catch a snowflake.
I opened up my mouth.
Next year I think I’ll wait until
the birds have all flown south.

--Kenn Nesbitt

Using double pointed needles, cuff down and a non-stop heel, my own toe pattern. I could not figure out how the designer wanted the heel done and I prefer the non-stop heel in any case. I use the directions from My Estonian Socks for this particular heel and just adjust the numbers if needed. It is not only a comfortable heel but a pretty one too.

I took the picture quickly while my icamera is working (the shutter keeps sticking) so they are not blocked yet but have already been worn quite a bit. They are very soft and cozy.
