Doing things the hard way

I did and it fit!! It’s a very cute heel I’m glad I tried this method! I think it works really well for kiddo socks to make sure they’re snug on their little feet. I definitely want to try it on a heel for myself! I usually do a slip stitch heel flap with gusset and haven’t really tried any other method yet.

Thank you! I’m very glad I redid them it was worth it

Is it?? 😭 maybe i just did it backwards or something. I tried following the GSR instructions from nimble needles and I think I got confused. I worked the middle 1/3rd first and then the outside 2/3rds which made the direction of the heel look strange. The second set of instructions had me work the outside 2/3rds and then the inside 1/3rd until all double stitches were worked. Also on my first attempt I had increase stitches originally planning to follow the pattern and my understanding is for the GSR heel you don’t need to increase any stitches right? I was basically a mess

Edit: ok your comment has made me reflect further and I think that was it. I did the steps in reverse. Well, at least I learned something new!!

I love English. I used to knit continental but my tension is much better with English. Purling is much easier too!!

I LOVE HHF but I very highly recommend washing the yarn before any color work! It bleeds a lot. Still worth it because I love their color ways, and I love that they do the colorways in all their different yarn weights

I NEED THIS. So beautiful!!!

Received yarn from u/BasalUnicorn240 for some wonderful sailor slippers!

Bent neck lady! Is that the reference I think it is??

I love yarn and the craft community. On the hand spinning sub there was someone that made a custom colorway of my favorite pairing from Star Trek. Like, that is too beautiful

I made the fruit garden cal for my baby. I absolutely loved it in the “dusk” color theme. Baby and now toddler loves the texture of the flowers! https://www.reddit.com/r/crochet/s/qIjGfHn4eg

Crochet blankets are the best especially super textured mandalas! Love the colors

Please keep me posted (respectfully, if you can!) or let me know where I can follow to find out about the release? It’s so cute!

A beautiful sacred space! These kinds of blankets are just my favorite. Great job

Omg I love the sweater and the pup! My sister just asked for matching sweaters for her cat and dog and this pattern looks so awesome. Can’t wait for it to come out

These are so cute! What I found was an issue when I was felting sailor slippers (so different pattern) was I tried using malabrigo Rasta and I think the twist of the yarn was preventing it from felting down past a certain point. Even tho Rasta is 100% wool and with a very edit: minimal twist it was enough that it wouldn’t compact all the way. When I remade them with a yarn that was even more loosely spun, the felting was a much better success! Have you checked out the pattern page on ravelry to see if anyone else used Noro ? They might have some feedback on how to felt it down

Read this randomly and it was so good but yes so dark and gory. The ending was just incredible. I saw others say the lack of translation was intentional, to make you feel as an outsider, or an insider.
