I have discovered that Spin-off is available through the public library system. These are the Ntaidrin (Wheat) socks by Irene Waggener from Spin-off March 2024. More or less. Less, really, because in my feverish Covid state I reversed the colourwork. *cough*

The colourwork is closer here but I think I trusted my memory on the heel construction, and, well…

I liked this pattern so much (and it suited the small quantities of eucalyptus dyed yarn I have so many of so well) that I made three pairs. One of them I must have given away without taking a photo. Like many patterns drafted for spinners, by spinners, this one can be knit at almost any gauge. Perfect! And such a quick little knit. It has been a while since I knit much, so it was lovely to have a little breakout of knitting.

Thank you so much! I’ve already had a review from a happy recipient: “perfect for round the house”–which is just what they are designed for. Happiness!

Socks are my go to knit. I knit them on playground duty while walking around the school, I knit them in meetings and while waiting for the bus. I use a general method, but no pattern, If you look for the sweet tomato heel, you will not be disappointed, this heel is so easy and I find it fits my feet very well.

Socks are my go-to as well, for all these settings. I think I’ve read the sweet tomato heel but never tried to knit it. I usually use a traditional flap and gusset heel with heel reinforcement stitches. I’ve deviated when I have been following a pattern, but usually I am not following a pattern!! Just like you!
