Sock Progress

I have made some progress on the socks. I decided to try an afterthought heel. The pattern I am trying had a section about knitting heels. The author suggested to always do an afterthought heel when using self striping yarn.

It does seem to be helping me keep the self stripping pattern in order. I watched a few youtube videos on afterthought heels. One of the tips I picked up is to put in lifelines using dental floss. My dentist might not be happy about this use of dental floss but I think it will really help.

In the picture below you can just see a little bit of white, that is the dental floss life line. The blue string is the waste yarn I used. It certainly right now is easy knitting in the round. This skein seems heavy on the green. We shall see how the finished sock looks.
