turning a heel

I just had to share.  I was not feeling very energetic this weekend so I spent a lot of time sitting with my knitting.  My Beloved's sock.  He wish to have tall socks and I got a handle on the top.  It is really not a cuff because it is thirteen inches long.  There are many errors and I showed it to him.  He likes the errors and the uniqueness of the errors.  I think he may be a bit touched.

I had always heard stories from my Father about my Grandmother knitting socks.  He always made it seem that the heels were painful.  With those stories and knowing my Grandmother was a fabulous knitter, I approached the heel with some trepidation.  It was much easier then I expected!  I just followed the pattern.  Since I have already changed the pattern once, this is probably a good thing.  This sock was supposed to be a crew length, not to the knee!

I am so pleased.  The sock has a heel.  I know I will have to do it again and I am hoping to have enough patience with myself that there will be ease.
