Crochet Socks in progress...

sock in progress side view sock in progress Here are my first pair of crochet socks in progress. So far I am not using a pattern. The sock is all one piece crocheted in round. I am using watercolors for the toes and purple sock yarn for the body. I am closing approaching the heal so I need to look at some patterns to see how to handle that part of the sock. They are so comfy so far and they fit into my shoes. These are my first pair of socks for the Feet Need Socks CAL. Over the Holiday I am also made two scarves and a hat for WTW. I will pictures up of items 20, 21, and 22 for the 25 things for charity KAL/CAL.

I remember facing a similar challenge when I crocheted xmas stockings many years ago. This was pre-knitting too :) What I ended up doing was making a temporary bind off just before the heel(leaving a tail with a slipknot so I could reattach when ready) then crocheting along the heel as if it were a flat piece (though it was more bowl like) Since I was starting from the leg rather than the toe the work turned by itself, but,I would imagine that with planned decreases it would work from the toe as well. I would love to know how you work it out :)****CV
