Not all knitting, all the time!
So the past few days have been consumed with researching and booking various aspects of our trip, so knitting time has been a little neglected.
But of course I managed to squeeze in a little.
Taking photos of your own heel is not an easy task. But isn't it a pretty heel?
This is the first time I've done a heel that isn't plain, slipped or eye of partridge. I'm not sure how it will wear, but I love the way it looks.
Twinkie of course, demands equal air time.
Saturday sky.
A perfect blue. Unfortunately it's still a bit cool, but it looks gorgeous, doesn't it?
I had a visitor, but every time I tried to take a picture, he turned away.
Only a magpie, but I'm easily amused.

Wow, very tricky and pretty sock there! I keep meaning to take my camera along when I'm out lately - there are huge flocks of sulphur-crested cockatoos around at the moment, which I must try to 'catch'. Don't you just love magpie song? Just about my favourite Aussie sound.
Posted by: Jejune at August 4, 2007 08:26 PMThe heel looks good. I bet it will wear just fine.
Posted by: Wool Winder at August 4, 2007 11:54 PMthe sock looks awsome... LOVE the cables!!
we have those birds here too...
Posted by: Vicki at August 5, 2007 01:28 AMThe heels of my socks always felt because of my shoes, so I've never bothered with a fancy heel. But yours makes me think that it might be worth trying, if only to enjoy it while I'm knitting...
Posted by: sprite at August 5, 2007 03:44 AMlove the fancy heel! the sock is coming along so nicely - the pattern looks difficult....
Posted by: debbie at August 5, 2007 04:06 AMI'm giggling as I imagine how you possibly managed to get that pic. If it was me I know I would have fallen over multiple times.
The sock is incredibly pretty. You will have to tell us how the heel wears.
Posted by: Carol at August 5, 2007 08:53 AMFabulous socks!
Posted by: Jane at August 5, 2007 02:24 PMLove that sock,gorgeous colour but the cables look fascinating,Twinkie must think so too!!
Posted by: cathy at August 5, 2007 04:16 PMthat is a very pretty heel.
Love that sky! It looks a bit like that here today, a perfect blue.
Posted by: angie at August 5, 2007 06:43 PMBoth the heel and the photo of the heel are fantastic. It's my ambition to take a sock heel photo as good as that.
You are going to have a blast in America!
Posted by: Bells at August 5, 2007 07:35 PMI really love that sock, esp the colour. And I am insanely jealous of your trip to the US. Perhaps I'll stow away in your suitcase. It would have to be a big one, but I reckon you'll be taking empty ones to hold all the yarn you'll buy over there.
And you must get a picture of you and Wendy's cat.
