Finally getting somewhere with a sock... Amaranthine Almondine I'll call her!

Now if I could just figure out what they mean by chain stitches at each selvedge edge of the heel flap? Oh wait I think I found the answer! It naturally happens when you slip the first stitch of each row of the flap. Well why didn't they say that. That's what the introductory lessons are for that you skim through because until you get to that part of the sock it doesn't make sense anyway.

I miss my friend Debbie Held from college. Per instagram she's a wicked knitter as well. Just check out this screen shot of her instagram profile.

She may say engineers make good knitters. But clearly linguists have all the style!

Sock Challenge: Ongoing Struggle to Master the Sock Knit

So I've tried a couple patterns for socks and even a sock loom and so far all have been frogged. I'm a tight knitter and these projects typically call for size 1 or 2 needles and wow it's hard to see the stitches. But I'm determined to figure this out. So I bought the book Sock Knitting: Master Class hoping it will do just that.

I found a forum on Ravelry doing a KAL (Knit Along) on this same pattern. I also found another blogger working through same book that did this in 2011 so should be well experienced by now.

And I've already posted a reply on her second post about this project begging for help.
