I finished another pair of socks. The yarn is from Temu (it is actually quite nice – Opal). I think it’s 5ply or 6ply rather than my normal 4 ply. I cast on 48 stitches instead of 64, but they are quite snug.
A K2P2 rib and then a plain vanilla sock with a heel flap and gusset.
I have started knitting the Heartgyle socks from Boost Your Knitting – the intarsia heart is going well, but the getting it to work in the round is not going so well (see below)

You can see where I have been doing the yarn overs and the turn. The instructions do say
You will see that the turn between right side and wrong side creates a small ridge in the work but it is not hugely obvious.
And they have an image and it’s true on their sock it isn’t very obvious. I can see that my later turns are better – more discreet if you like, but now I need to decide if I rip it back and start again. I am leaning towards ripping back.
There are some great tutorials on how to do this on You Tube – here.
I think the method is good it’s just my execution.
