Jumper
I got into a rhythm and forgot to try it on, so I’m just sticking with this size. If it doesn’t fit I’ll give it away, and if I run out of yarn then I’ll just have to buy more and that’s never a hardship.
Teddy ear bonnet
I have absolutely no concept of how big babies are. I made this bonnet once and the Fiancé suggested it might be a bit too small, so I frogged it and I’m now making a larger size with a larger hook. Hopefully it will end up a wearable size.
Hedgehog 2
I’m determined to get this hedgehog finished by the end of next week. I wasn’t too pleased with the first one so I’ll see what I can do to make this one look a little cuter.
Advent socks
These were not finished for Hogmanay, obviously. It’s a bit hard to tell with no heel in yet but I think they might need an extra stripe added on to fit my Hobbit feet, so I need to decide which stripe to repeat.
Rainbow socks
These still need their afterthought heels. I can’t seem to get over the fear of cutting into my knitting – it just feels so wrong!
Black + yellow socks
After a good long stint in the naughty corner, I’m ready to face these again. Not only was my tension way off on the second sock, I’d also missed a decrease round after the heel turn so there was a whole extra motif in there. I’ve frogged it right back to the heel so I can fix the mistake and hopefully by the time I get back to the colourwork I shall be nice and relaxed again.

Haha to be fair, I have made a lot of socks over the last few years. They’re so addictive.

I have yet to try an afterthought heel for that very reason!

I haven’t steeked or done afterthought heels, cutting knitting terrifies me. I’m not sure I feel the need to try, but best of luck to you. 🍀

It seemed like a good idea at the time, so I could keep the stripes in order all the way down the sock. Now I’m not so sure!

I don’t know if I have the courage for an afterthought heel either. But I have steeked a sweater. I guess it’s a little different since the steek is made to be cut and you reinforce with sewing. Good luck!

I had never heard of an afterthought heel until you posted about it! Sounds scary! Everything you knit will fit somebody even if it is not the person you had in mind.

It’s not quite as scary as steeking a whole cardigan, but it’s still making me nervous!

Your projects all look great! I have done afterthought heels, but the ones where you knit in that other strand of yarn that you can take out and then pick up the stitches on both sides and knit from there. I have steeked sweaters a couple of times, but I would be afraid to do socks, I think.

I think I can do it because I only have to cut one stitch and then unravel the right number of stitches, rather than cutting across the whole thing. Still a bit scary though!
