Have got to the bit where the some stitches are put on a thread and have stopped as this is usually where I go wrong with the pattern. Confused

But I will have a go and do a bit more honest Very Happy

Libby I left my stitches on the needle and moved on, much easier for knitting when the gusset is done.

I have finished sock one. except the kitchner stitch and have done the rib and a couple of the pattern rows on the second sock Very Happy

I'm stuck

I have knitted down the back of the heel and have got to the shaping for the back of the heel and somehow or other the pattern is the wrong side Confused

apart from that I don't understand the pattern at this point Shocked

I spoke to Jacky yesterday and she said its an odd pattern and I think she adapted another one. I don't know if I can do that as this is only my 2nd pair of socks Laughing

I have put these down for a few days, but picked them up yesterday and undid the bit I did wrong and I see where I went wrong, so have started the heel bit again!

Over the difficult bit after instruction from my friend. (I think I'm a show me person, becuase once Jacky showed me I was fine)

My only worry is what happens if I pick up too many stitches Jacky????

You either unpick that line and pick up less stitches, I pick up between 16 - 18 stitches depending on the length of heel flap. Or you do more decreasing rows, which if you have a high instep some people do anyway, nothing is wrong, if just will be a bit different, artistic license Wink

I will also take a picture of my sock so you can see the decrease rows just to remind you.

But folks Libbys sock is so much better, even though it's the same pattern but Libby has done hers on slightly larger needles than I have, which makes the pattern stands out so much better on her sock. Really Libby you are doing a brilliant job Very Happy
