Pembrokeshire Pathways
So I finally made a decision.
I wound my Artyarns Ultramerino 4 (colourway 127) into a couple of balls, and then cast on….the Elfine socks. After getting both toes started, and a couple of rounds done…I decided I really didn’t want to do a pair of toe-up socks. I admit it…I’m actually quite loving the Heel Flap method.
I ripped that back and started the Pathways. I’d heard about them through the Lime & Violet podcast, so I figured I’d give them a try. After an evening of working the cuff, I’m now on the third repeat of the leg pattern. Squee!
In other news, The Cat has gone mad. She wouldn’t leave me alone yesterday when I was winding the yarn (ooOoo! String! Gimme!), then insisted on being a pest when I was trying to get the pattern started…she’s been picking the carpets and all sorts of other Annoying Kitty Cat Things.
I love my cat. I hate when she’s in a snit. And she’s in some sort of snit. Geesh.

if you like toe up socks and want the heel flap, check out some of the more recent socks that Wendy (of WendyKnits fame) has done for SOS. A couple of them are available for free at the Loopy Ewe blog, and she does them toe up w/ a modified heel flap. I just did the Southwestern socks, and it’s amazing

Thanks, Manda! I’ll have to check that out. I don’t mind starting my socks toe-up, but I find that I get holes at the sides of the heels…pitfall of many a short-rower
If I can do heel-flaps? Sweetness
