Getting Started on a Vintage Sock Journey // Casual Friday S05E42

Описание: In this week's podcast, I prepare for a new long term project spanning many decades (this time, it's socks and stockings), and I revisit a Norwegian sock that I analyzed a couple of weeks ago, with some updated information.

Mors hel socks by Inga skeie has what looks like a very similar heel to the Norwegian sock I've been studying, but it's possible there are some differences ("Manufacturer's Heel" or "Shaped Common Heel" are some common names for this type of heel in 19th century English-language stocking patterns.)

Berry Waves sock pattern from DROPS has an "old fashioned heel" which includes the k2togtbl method of binding off each needle, but the heel flap is worked differently than the Norwegian sock I'll be reverse engineering
