Making progress

I'm almost done with the fish and Clapotis. The fish needs to be stuffed and sewn up, and Clapotis just needs to have the ends woven in.

And, since I had a strong aversion to actually finishing anything, I've put those aside and picked up the Embossed Leaves socks I was working on (last year). Luckily I'd marked the pattern pretty well, so I was able to figure out where I'd left off. I've now finished the leg, and need to turn the heel. But I'm not sure what to do about the heel. Given that this is my first pair of socks, I'm rather inclined to just follow the pattern. But, I know a lot of knitters didn't like the heel as designed, and substituted a different type (mostly short row). I think I like the look of the short row heel a lot better, so I'm thinking I might do that, but I'm still not sure. Hopefully I'll be able to make it to Aloha Knitters on Thursday for some guidance (and, we can stay late as the center is open until 10 due to the holidays).

One of these days I might even get around to taking some pictures.


PS- I'm now on Ravelry, as lilikoiknits, I'd love some more friends.
