I did it. I crossed over in knitting world. I turned my first heel of my very first sock!
For those of you that don’t knit, this isn’t a huge deal. But in knitting world, there is cheering and celebration from knitters everywhere.
With a little help from my friend, the EVOO bottle, here are a few pictures.
Starting to take shape...
It is a magical moment.
Just a little bit showing, but that's it. A turned heel!
Something you do, but while doing it, have no idea why or how it is working.
I love the fact the bottom of the heal starts with a new color. Couldn't have planned it better myself.
You have to let all understanding go and just follow where the yarn takes you. And I did it! *Insert happy dance here*
Next, there is something about picking up stitches. A gusset. And joining the heal with the other stitches I had to neglect to get to this occasion. But I think I will wait till Thursday, when I have the help of an expert.

as one of your sock coaches, i’m beaming proudly. & kudos for creative usage of an olive oil bottle!
p.s. i still love that yarn. & if you get tired of making the foot long enough for you, I just *might* know someone with a size 7 foot 🙂 just trying to help out any way i can.
Bravo!
Awesome job!!! I know my mom had problems with heels in the beginning but she’s a sock making machine now. Great use of the olive oil I wasn’t sure what you were thinking till I saw the pictures!!
man that looks tedious! i have a picture of lily by the way in the hat you made her. she looks so cut in it!
oops i meant to leave a comment but not a response to someone elses comment…..i’m a bit of a blog dummy!
Brilliant post! This could certainly aid a lot of people learn about this matter. Would you like to incorporate video clips together with these? It will definitely help out.
