If you are familiar with ssk and look closely at the picture below, you should notice pretty quickly how my miss translation caused my heel turn to be all kinds of messed up.
It wasn't until I pulled out the work, repeated my mistake, pulled out my work again and consulted Bernat Yarns on YouTube that I finally got it. I have to keep reminding myself that knitting has adopted a whole language of it's own and I'm not exactly fluent yet.
While on the topic of the language of knitting, translation is clearly not my strong suit. In other words, I could definitely benefit from an English/Knitting dictionary right about now. Do they exist?!?

Anyway, I managed to get through the heel turn and have already picked up all stitches (i.e. PU all sts) even if they are a little messy. Tonight I start the Gusset...
:-) so cool that you've identified and solved your issue! When comfronted with a new technique, I usually look it up on YouTube. So congrats are in order, looking forward to see your FO!
ReplyDeleteYou're so sweet!!! I went ahead and added you on Ravelry. I can't wait to see what you do with your Yarnbox skeins!
