The cuff and heel.
I have knit 80 rows of knit one purl one ribbing for the cuff I like to use the K1, P1 ribbing as I feel it helps to keep the socks up on the leg.
I divided the sock into 30 sts for the heel and then divide the other 30 sts on the other 2 needles.
The heel has 30 rows...row 1: Slip one, knit one across the thirty stitches....the second row is slip the first stitch and purl to the end. I did this for 30 rows.
Now to do the turning of the heel...hmmm. I will post when I get that done! I do not have a pattern for these socks, so I am winging it as i go...I will post the rows as I go along. And hopefully more pictures as the sock evolves!
Picture of the heel.
Turning the heel, I S1, purled 15 sts, P2tog, p1, turn, (11 unworked stitches on your needle) then I s1, k3, k2tog, k1, turn (11 sts unworked) s1, P4, p2tog, s1, turn, s1, k5, k2tog, s1, turn. Continue to decrease 1 st each row till you have 1 unworked st...next row...Row 11...S1, P12, P2tog, P1, turn, Row 12: S1, K13, K2tog, K1, turn (1 unworked st) Row 13: S1 P 14 K2tog, turn, Row 14: S1, K14, K2tog...Now you pick up 15sts for the gusset!
I will have to go over this and make sure Ive written it correct and in the last post on the socks I will do the whole pattern so you and I can understand it. I am so left handed! But I knit right. I just see it in my head differently then a righty does. I drive my husband crazy when I try to explain things to him. lol Oh well.

How do you like the size of the wooly nylon I am using! I bought this online from a company in Canada for $30.00 This is half the size from when I bought it a year or so ago. I have saved a ton of money buying this huge spool! The little tiny spools I bought at Jo-Anns many years ago were selling for $5.99. Now I wished I had kept track of how many socks Ive knit using this spool! I tell everyone that I bet I won't live long enough to use it all, but the way Ive been knitting wool socks I bet I do! Just in case I do, I ordered another one for that "just in case" time! I use this on the heels and toes. It does help to save the sock from wearing out quickly.
Back to knitting and watching "Sweet Home Alabama!" I love this movie...Reese Witherspoon and Patrick Dempsey...love love love them!
KNIT ON!!
