Sock Knitters . . .

 . . . and wanna be sock knitters, this is for you!  I have just finished the heel of my third pair of socks and I'm in love!  Yes, I love my husband (LOL!) but I have found the heel that I will be using for any future socks that I knit!  It's called Fish Lips Kiss Heel and can be found on Ravelry here.  I have no affiliation with this designer nor do I receive any compensation for sharing it here.  This is not a free pattern, but for only $1.00 (yes, you read that correctly) you receive 16 pages of instructions with pictures.  If you are a visual person like I am, than the pictures are a great addition.  Here's a picture of the completed heel.

 

I'm knitting these socks using Knitter's Pride Nova Circular Needles.  These are my absolute favorite knitting needles for lace projects and socks.  They have nice points on them for lace knitting and very flexible cables perfect for knitting socks two-at-a-time on 2 circular needles.  I'm using a size US 1.

You may remember in an earlier post that I mentioned the yarn that I was using.  This is fun sock yarn to work with.  I love self-patterning  yarn -- what fun!  I'm using Coats Yarn Red Heart Heart and Sole Yarn, Faded Jeans colorway.

If you have never knit anything with self-patterning yarn, give it a try.  I absolutely love working with it and will be knitting socks in the future with this yarn.

That's about it for now.  I'll post a picture of my socks when they are finished!

Happy knitting,
