KNIT. SOCK. LOVE. : BFF • Clandestine • Cusp • German Stockings • Gothic Spire • Hedera • In and Out • Lissajous • Marilinda • Mona • Monkey • Pointelle • Rhombus • Sake • Stalagmite • Stricken • Thelonious • Twisted Flower • WedgeFast forward a couple of years ... just as I'm considering casting on Hedera again I stumble across a forum post on Ravelry where a knitter asks for advice about closing up the YO holes on either side of the spine on a triangular shawl. And when another knitter suggested working the YOs through the back loop on the next row I knew I had my answer. I just can't believe how well this little trick has worked! I love these Hederas now!!
It's a very easy and easily memorized four row pattern, but very effective! I worked the leg up to the heel flap on 2.25 mm needles and then switched down to smaller needles for the rest of the heel and the foot.
My socks are posed in my front garden where you can see the first new growth of my daylilies. If the weather continues warm and sunny things will green up in the garden pretty quickly. Can't wait for t-shirt weather and leaves on the trees!

The socks are so pretty. What a great trick.
Daylilies! I can hardly wait.
Those socks are looking great! I am sure you will be wearing them next time I see you!
I will have to remember that trick. Hedera are perfect for this spring. That's a nice, mossy color.
GENIUS!!!
Now you will have a pair of Hederas you love! :-)
They look gorgeous and they pose so well next to the daylilies!
Wonderful sock and knitting trick! Love your Daylillies--but I won't show you how far along mine have come already this Spring-I don't want to make you jealous. ;)
