Well, it isn’t my contest, it’s Yarnpig’s, but it’s fun to enter all the same! Go here to enter, and while you’re there, take some time to read her blog, too!
On the finished object front, I started and finished the booties below in a record-breaking (for me) five days! Here are the specifics: Plymouth Encore Worsted Weight, colorway 233 (white), two Addi Turbo size 3s, my usual sock recipe, scaled down for baby feet. I cast on eight stitches in a figure-8, then increased to 14 on a side, then knit stockinette until the foot looked long enough (?), did a short-row heel leaving four stitches in the middle, then stockinette stitch until the leg looked long enough. I think I’m doing something wrong though; I don’t add a gusset when I’m doing the heel, and the sock kind of bunches on the other side. Problem is, I don’t know how to add a gusset. Help, anyone? And yes, I’m going to add a stitch to close up the little hole where the heel joined the rest of the sock. Sometimes I can’t get that part pulled tight enough.
