Then I decided not to knit yesterday, but I'm jumping back in today.<br /><br />So here are the details:<br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Pattern:</span> Jacobean by Julie <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Persinger</span> for <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">SKP</span>2008 sock1; toe-up pattern with short row heel; magic loop or 2 circular needles<br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Yarn</span>: "Jitterbug" from <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">Colinette</span>; 1 ball (Recommended yarn=fingering wt)<span style="font-style: italic;"><br />Color</span>: Velvet Damson #118<span style="font-style: italic;"><br />Required Gauge</span>: 8 st/inch; My gauge: 7 st/inch, but I was making these for a Men's size US10 and the pattern was written for Women's size US7-9, so I did not adjust the pattern.<br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Recommended Needles</span>: US 1.5 /2.5 mm (I used 2 <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">circ</span> US4/3.5mm)<br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Comments</span>: Fun pattern to knit. I hope the short row heel holds up (I usually only use short row heels for baby socks and Christmas stockings).<br /><br />You really can't see the diamond design in these pictures, but the design looks nice in person.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.buzzandfuzz.com/blog/uploaded_images/socks/SKP1done.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 200px;" src="http://www.buzzandfuzz.com/blog/uploaded_images/socks/SKP1done.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /></div><br />And here is a close up of the short row heel:<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.buzzandfuzz.com/blog/uploaded_images/socks/SKP1heel.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 200px;" src="http://www.buzzandfuzz.com/blog/uploaded_images/socks/SKP1heel.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;">Back to knitting today.
