Our one day of warm weather is now behind us and we're back to our previously scheduled grey, cold, damp, and generally depressing spring weather. When I finished up the second Brookline sock, it was so grey and miserable outside that I pretty much gave up on outdoor photography. So, here's what I managed to shoot indoors.

| Ankle and instep detail. |
As I mentioned in an earlier post, the knot stitch, while beautiful, might be uncomfortable inside shoes, so I extended it only partially down the instep. The decreases, instead of occurring on a downward diagonal go in the opposite direction to meet at a point on the top of the foot.
The heels needed a bit of reinforcement because the Lanett Babyull doesn't have any nylon, and I thought that the "eye of the partridge" stitch looked more delicate than the standard heel flap slip stitch which creates vertical ridges.
After I do a little housecleaning after lunch, I'll tackle the writing up of the pattern. Should be ready by Saturday.
