heel? not today!

Well, I am now ready to turn the heel on the sock!

I decided that after the kind of day I had, trying to turn the heel of a fair isle sock was just inviting a disaster, so I decided that the heel could wait for another day or two.

I really wish that the colors would come through a little better in the pictures. It really is so pretty! From the top to the heel the colors are lt blue / white & pink fair isle / pink / white & lt pink fair isle / darker pink / white & pink / lavender / lt pink / white & dark pink / then back to the blue again.

It really is amazing how it is turning out. I am very surprised, but happy because it is almost exactly as I was imagining it would look!

It will be a snug fit getting it on and off, but once it is on it fits me very well! It isn't too tight at all.

So, the plan is to add a lifeline tomorrow, then try and turn the heel. I have done a bit of fair isle purling on swatches, but this is different! It actually matters how it turns out! Yikes!
