Heel

[atherleisure]

Since my sewing box is currently packed away, and I don't have a big enough needle available to sew the buttons on my knitted corset, the corset is going to stay folded in my knitting bag for a bit longer.

Instead I've been back to work on stockings. I'm not thrilled with the fit through the ankle, but I decided not to rip out a hundred rows again and just started on the heel flap. Anyway, I'm twenty-three rows into the heel flap with thirty-three to go before I start the short rows of the Dutch heel.

I should be back to sewing by the end of the month, and am I looking forward to it! You know you haven't been sewing much when you're glad you get to fix the binding on your son's blanket and the hem on your husband's pants.

You have the most interesting and intricate projects!

Thank you. I'm flattered. The bad thing about these stockings is that the pattern seems to be designed for someone eight feet tall so I keep having to adjust row counts until I'm not sure I can really say I'm following the pattern!
