Memo to self
More good online resources about afterthought heels: Keyboard Biologist's detailed discussion from back in March, which includes links to Socknitter's Tips and Tricks, and Dawn Brocco's discussion.
The girl's Sockotta sock that I'm working on at the moment wouldn't show off the afterthought heel (it's not very stripey). I thought about putting in a contrast heel, but I don't think my other two colors of Sockotta would pair up well. Here's the progress so far:
My camera does not have good macro (close-up) capability. This is a distance shot (still not in sharp focus) that's been digitally "zoomed." Another memo to self: next camera, get one with a good macro lens.
So I think I'll stick with the regular heel for this pair, but will be on the lookout for a fun stripey yarn for my next pair. Another memo to self: use this as good excuse to stop in at the new yarn shop.
