So great to see the footage of your trip, it looked and sounds like you had a great time! The colagirl socks look fantastic and I’m loving your Euphorbia (sp?) shawl, it’s such a beautiful colour palette!
I'm looking at going to the new Australian Wool Show in Canberra, I don't think I'll be able to make FibreFest this year but am going to keep an eye out on the dates and if I can I'll be there :)
the striping on your socks turned out really well with the heel flap and gusset! it's hardly noticeable that there's a change in the stripe width. i wonder if there would be a way to figure out how it will look depending on number of rows/stripe and stripes/repeat. I've found it sometimes works out well and other times it's super obvious and I'm thinking it probably relates to how many rows each repeat of stripes contains but I think I'm too lazy to try and figure out what the sweet spot would be with my size of socks and tension. i think I prefer the look of the afterthought heel for stripey socks most of the time but I prefer the fit of a heel flap and gusset.
That’s such a great question about if we could figure that out. I’ve done a heel flap and gusset it just now for my latest pair and it hasn’t worked out as well for me 😢. I usually do like the look of short row or afterthought more too ☺️
