Ok, I’m working on the Boot Camp Sock and I’m confused. I just don’t know where to start the heel flap. I have my sts on 2 needles and I’m supposed to have my stitch holder (which marks the beginning of the row of my sock) on the back needle.
No problem. That means that I have my first 30 sts on the back needle and my last 30 sts on the front needle. I’m supposed to work on the heel flap on the back needle.
Problem now identified!!! My working yarn is on the LEFT side!!! (at the end of the row, that is).
My stitch holder is placed after the first stitch, which you can see in my picture.
I’m no expert here, BUT BELDIE, each of those needles has exactly the same amount of stitches? Right? Well, to make that flap, you’re going to have to knit row, turn, etc. Why not just make the one where the yarn is the heel flap one?
Beldie - sounds right to me. Not sure about that “rinse” part. But yeah just start your slipping, purling, knitting stuff now. Make sure you slip knit-wise - I think.
Gusset is finished and now working on the length of the foot. Yay!!!
I was making these socks for my husband, but I don’t think they’re going to fit On that note, I’m not sure if they’ll even fit me. Mark has wierd feet.
Beldie, you should email him…there’s a link on his personal website. I asked him for pics of what his socks were supposed to look like when done, and he got back fairly quickly. Maybe he can offer hints & tips, and maybe an explanation regarding his weird feet.
lol, actually I think my hubby’s feet are just larger than the average male foot. Although I thought mine were okay… I’m just going to keep knitting and see how it turns out. I can always frog it if it doesn’t fit either one of us.
