“Targarven” sock knitting

IMG_1437

I have now finished the heel.   The photo shows one sock right side up and one upside down.  Notice the redder stripe and heel area.   Even though this is a sock yarn, it didn’t seem strong enough to hold up as long as I like, so I reinforced the heel with a 75% wool, 25% nylon reinforcement yarn by Schoeller Esslinger.

Tomorrow is SewExpo in Puyallup, WA, so will try to find something interesting to show you.

    Your socks are looking good. They look very thick and warm. Have fun at Sew Expo.

      Thank you – They are also nice because I can throw them in the washer and dryer. I have some socks I wash by hand, but it is so nice to be able to just put these in the laundry as with the other clothes.
