The Heart & Sole of the matter is

knitting appropos to St. Valentine's Day.


I've started a new pair of socks from "Fire" colorway of Red Heart's Heart & Sole with Aloe yarn. It's a light fingerling yarn, pretty fine. But I'm using my standard "0" doublepoints and things seem to be coming along OK.




The pattern I'm experimenting with is to CO 60 sts, 2x2 rib and after the top, then place a 3x3 cable on each side of the sock, approximately above the ankle bone (when it grows that long!)





Barbar stole the sock. "I'm a better model than she is and older, too,"says he!

P.S. Better pics with natural light next time, I promise.
