Am in the process of designing a sock pattern.  Have done a great deal of research centered around foot measurements, basic sock designs, and heel designs.  There are a lot of great ideas and sources available to assist with making a sock, so research, research and try, try until you get the result you want.

My design is an accumulation of ideas and not completely formulated yet, but do have the start finalized for a toe up pattern.  At this point calculating various size stitch counts.  

Haven't made a sock nor slipper for over 30 years, so should be interesting as I progress through the process.  My foot and my daughter's foot are the current models.  

Making more of a "house" sock/slipper type than a regular wearing sock for the template, will be easy to adjust with my calculations, so when done will be something for any "type" of sock wanted.  

Stay tuned for updates.

Once again, I have been neglected my blog.  In a crochet slump, and decided I needed something to really challenge my mind so started a Javascript programming course through Khan Academy.  It really challenges my mind as am needing math concepts I learned 50 years ago and haven't used since.  However, coming along satisfactorily.

Crocheting has been slow as I can't think of anything I want to make at this point, and haven't got any inspiration.  Both Mom and my daughter aren't helping (they, typically, get my creations.  Don't sell many completed projects, mostly patterns.

Do need to make some coasters to replace the ones I made several years ago.  Those are looking pretty ragged.  Getting to be spring so should get my bottle carrier patterns out and worked up for spring and summer activities.  Those will be on my list for the remainder of the month.

Everyone have a great spring.
