Lorna's Laces Springer

Finished June 7, 2007

Lorna's Laces in Springer colorway. Just love them. Soft and sweet looking. Just finished these yesterday with the Opals. I cast on 60 and deceased to 56 for heel and foot. Deceased toe every other row all way to 12 and sewed it up. These are soft and beautiful. Knitted cuff down. There is a 3 garter stitch edge on the flap. First time trying this. Love it. Also did the decease in the corner instead of one stitch over from corner. Like that too. Washed them first before I scanned them. I am going back to scanning before washing. They lie flatter. Used 2.5m needle.

Opal Rodeo 1150

Finished June 7, 2007

Opal Rodeo 1150. I cast on 60 deceased to 56 for heel and foot. Made them a little different. They fit my daughter perfectly. Didn't make them long enough since they fit so great now they won't in 3 months. I will cut off the toes and add some then rather than do away with the socks. Used a 2.5m needle. Went to knit picks to buy the size one and they were already out. Knit cuff down. When I got to the toe I countinued the decrease every other row until I had 12 stitches left. Folded over the outside stitches on the next stitches to make 10 left and then sewed the toe shut.
