reinforcing socks

(I have been catching up on earlier posts, which is why I'm a little off topic.) I haven't tried it yet, but I've been thinking of using the heel stitch (k 1, sl 1 on first row, k all second, repeat) on the ball of the foot area of the sock. I now always continue that stitch as I turn the heel,

Hello all fiber friends. I am in SW New Mexico near Arizona. I am having an awful time with coyotes this year; I've been lucky in the past. I don't have enough sheep to afford a guard dog or lama but would like to offer a lama a good home? I am keeping my sheep up and feeding them even

OK Fibernetters, I had some nice shrimp tonight at a Mongolian Barbecue place, and I remarked to Susanne that I should reveal the deep, dark secrets of the rksmrgs (Swedish for shrimp sandwich) test messages. It happens that the word rksmrgs contains all three of the characteristically Swedish

I like to use a second yarn, knitting one stitch with the left yarn and the next stitch with the right yarn -- unlike heel stitch, this is almost the same height as stocking stitch, so patches of "festive knitting" and stocking stitch side-by-side are compatible. ("Festive" is Mary Thomas's term

I can't resist the temptation to add: if someone really *is* trying to dis you (and, thanks to good fortune and a good listmom, we don't seem to have anyone on list who *would*) -- if someone does insult you on purpose, nothing hurts him worse than letting him believe that he has failed to
