The first Einkorn sock is done.
I’m pleased with it, so the second one is on the needles, but just barely.
(The pattern will show up at The Loopy Ewe eventually, by the way. Thanks for asking!)
Bellamoden asked in the comments:
How do you make some heel flaps look wedge shaped, and others look more squared, more heel-flap-y?
I think it’s a matter of different patterns for different heels. My slip-stitch heel pattern yields the squared heel flap, while my gusset heel pattern makes the wedge-shaped heel.
Loribird asked:
I’m curious: what made it difficult to find a foot-mannequin the “right size?”
All the female mannequin legs/feet I’ve seen thus far are identical — with the standing on tippy-toe arched foot. That foot is smaller and narrower than my size medium sock. I guess most of these body parts come from the same manufacturer. I’m still in awe of Dani and how she managed to find a foot that fits my socks exactly.
And Barbara-Kay commented:
That photo of Lucy with the foot model might seem strange to a non-knitter. What about a lol-cat caption?
Excellent idea. Let’s have a caption contest! Look at the photo of Lucy with the foot model:
Now come up with a good LOLCats caption and leave it in the comments for today’s post. I’ll pick a winner or two or three, depending on how many entries I get, and the winners will receive something good!
Do it by 3:00pm EDT tomorrow (July 1) to be eligible to win.
Lucy sez:
“I’m not sure I approve of this use of my image . . . “
trying to sock it to me will never work! This is MY table, move over!
“I know the rest of her is around here somewhere….I’ll just wait ’til she gets back.”
(I really like this sock!)
“Does this sock make me look fat?”

Hello!!! I am laying here! Find your own table!
Diz iz me lukky hooman foot keyzchain. Not zo lukky for da hooman, eh? MMMRRROWW-HA-HA-HA-HA!
Nope, this won’t do. These are not my size at all and the color doesn’t go with my eyes.
Let’s just push you off this table and see if you can land on your… foot.
Late Edit: Sorry, I blew it on this one. I was past the deadline without realizing it. In my defense, I state the following:
I am not good with time zones. I feel it is important to maintain one charming flaw, so as not to appear unapproachable. This is mine.
