Progress, and yet no progress

So I went home last night, and finished off the last few rows of heel flap for my Amazing Lace Project – IK’s Simply Lovely Lace Socks. I had been wondering about this flap, thinking these socks muct be doing something slightly different in their construction, as it seemed pretty thin. But I finished it, and then started on the short rows. I am making the lighter weight size (the pink one in the magazine photo), so I followed the directions for that, and realised after one short row that the heel wasn’t in the middle of the heel flap. Weird. I counted my stitches. I had forgotten which size I was making when I started the heel flap, apparently, and had only been working 24 stitches instead of 30.

So I ripped back, and started that bit again, and got to the end of the flap. That felt good. If someone (like….my sidebar!) was measuring my progress at the end of each day, there would have been no change yesterday, but I did make it right.

In other news, I HAVE A PLACE TO LIVE when my contract is up here! YAY!
