I think I have finally gotten the hang of knitting a toe up sock and working short rows with wraps. Doing the test knit for Ann has been a very good learning experience for me and I thought I would share a couple of photos of my progress. I sweet talked my photographer into helping me out (a.k.a. Don, my husband).
For those of you who have a hard time with short row heels or just knitting the wraps together, I highly suggest Laura Chau’s blog post, a short-row heel tutorial. Seeing the photos really helped me on my journey of working this type of heel.
The toe ~ I’m so tickled how this looks!
My heel turned out perfect ~ well in my book it did 
This past week I also got in my Schacht 15″ Cricket loom! I’ve been wanted to learn to weave for a very long time and I think this will complete my collection quite nicely. I also signed up for the Rigid Heddle Weaving with Angela Tong online at Craftsy. I can’t wait to start this new adventure!
Schacht 15″ Cricket Loom – New for this year !
One reason I purchased this particular loom.
Until next time, happy knitting, crocheting, spinning, weaving and crafting!
Yay for Made in the USA!
I so agree Anne Marie
Your sock looks lovely! Toe up socks are a lot of fun once you get the hang of them aren’t they
And lucky you with the new fun toy! I have been daydreaming for a couple of years about learning to weave with my handspun. I can’t wait to see your weaving projects!
Thank you Simone and yes, they are! Well…. I did a major destash of yarn on eBay in order to buy my new toy, which was a good thing, right?
That yarn is great. I’ve always wanted to learn to weave. One day!
Thank you and I’m excited about learning to weave …. I’ve wanted to so that for the past few years and finally was able to purchase a loom
Your socks are so neat and lovely! Very envious
Thank you so very much
The socks are looking good!
Yum!
Thank you so very much !
The sock looks great! I love the pattern.
Thank you. I’m really enjoying it!
I can’t wait to learn more about/start knitting socks!
Weaving sounds like fun! I hope you enjoy it.
Knitting socks is an addictive pass time for me Liesl. I love them and tree are so many gorgeous patterns. Weaving should be fun and a new adventure
Great pics! I love that little cable pattern – I think it’s perfect for fall-themed socks!
I’ll be anxious to hear how you like your Cricket once you spend some time together too!
Thank you Anne and I love your pattern
I agree it will be perfect for fall. I’m hoping to get started with my Cricket this coming weekend.
Heh heh, Born in the USA!!! I didn’t know that about Schacht Looms.
Nice, isn’t it!
Let me know if you need any help!
I sure will Karen
Thanks for the short row link & blog – I’ve bookmarked it on Diigo for future reference! Love the socks, too.
You are most welcome Tracy and thank you
