I really want to knit the “Long Coat”. It is wonderful. Unfortunately, that edition of Vogue Magazine is no longer available, and Vogue won’t help me get a copy of the pattern. Do you still have it? If so, can I buy a copy from you?

Hi, I’ll reply both here and on Ravelry.

Okay, so when you go to start the heel, you’ve got your stitches on 3 needles: 12-16-12. You’re at the end of a row, so on the 2nd needle with 12 stitches. Slip eight stitches from the needle with 16 onto that needle. Then, with the wrong side facing you, slip one (not 11, sorry that the pattern isn’t easy to read), then purl across. Turn and slip one, knit across (there’s a mistake there, it says K1, but knit across instead), and do those two rows for a total of 20 rows.

Then, after that, you do the picking up of stitches. At that point, you want to put the remaining 20 stitches that you weren’t working with on one needle instead of the two they’re on, so you can use the other two needles to pick up stitches (and then slip so you’re using 3 needles again).

A great demonstration of a similar sock is under advanced techniques at Knittinghelp.com, if this isn’t clear…it made it easier for me. :)

Hi Lothie,

Great sock – I’m trying to follow the pattern myself but the heel part is making absolutely no sense. If you move 20 sts to one needle and then slip 11 before starting to purl you end up with a long bit of yarn between the last knit you did and the first purl after the s11.

Can you please translate the heel and the turn parts of the pattern for me based on your experience before I go completely and utterly MAD ;) ?

Congrats on the sock I wanna get past this obstacle so I can knit socks!

Hope Charlotte is treating you well…it’s snowing outside up here in Kingsville Ont. … again. Ugh.

What a good idea for using up smaller amounts of wool – I like it!

Never should have let me know you make jewelry!!! Ths is something I have always wanted to do and just don’t get it. I have the beads, supplies everything. No good items to speak of. I’ll be hitting you up for tips in the Purls meetings :)
