Traveling Woman 3

In September I finished my Traveling Woman 3. And in October i blocked it.
I truly love this one. The most soft yarn, a bit heavy in a really beautiful color way. 




(photo a bit pale)

Misty blue / purple named Rock Pool by NDS CARESS 4ply/Sock.
It`s Alpaca / Silk 100g-280m. I used a circular pin number 4.
I bought the yarn at Krambua up north :) you can find them on fb.

Now I remember......

Have you ever had the feeling "been there, done that, did not work?"
Well, been there this weekend....

I suddenly realized....


Why I do NOT knit grownup socks....
I`ve lost count of how many times I`ve undone these...

Way to small.....

Now I`ve figured out how to do the toe-up knit!
Just: IT IS THE HEEL.......


Last attempt: Grandmother`s way.... 
(on the right)

Now I`m undoing the one to the left....again!

No more texture knit on these, only k-loops....
Strait forward!
