2011 Golden Heart winner Máire Claremont first fell in love with Mr. Rochester, not Mr. Darcy. Drawn to his dark snark, she longed to find a tortured hero of her own… until she realized the ramifications of Mr. Rochester locking his frst wife up in his attic. Discovering the errors of her ways, Máire now looks for a real-life Darcy and creates deliciously dark heroes on the page. Oh, and she wants everyone to know her name is pronounced Moira. Her parents just had to give her an Irish Gaelic name.

What inspired you to write about the Victorian era? I adore the contrasts. The absolute morality of the time veiled so much going on underneath. It was a time of secrets. And on a shallow note, I adore the gowns. 2. Tell us somet...
Sorry I can't help. I'm impressed that your doing magic loop at all, I don't actually understand how it works myself.
ReplyDeleteIt's actually a lot easier then I thought it would be. I found an article online on how to set it up. Might have to do some googling to figure out the heel.
ReplyDeleteOnce you get to the heel with with the magic loop technique, you will take the stitches that you are no longer knitting, and use the extra length of the needle as a stitch holder. The stitches that will turn into a heel flap are just knit back and forth. Once, you get there and just start doing it, it will make sense. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteThanks Kate :)
ReplyDeletelove the socks - maybe one day I will learn? right now I think I will next try a sleeveless sweater with cotton yarn for a summer light weight look? I'm a beginner what can I say - maybe I should just stick with quilting

Yup, Kate is exactly right (of course she is!) and in my opinion, it's much easier to turn a heel with magic loop than with dpns. It just feels neater to me. Half on the cord, half working on the needles. Very neat and nice and easy to put down and pick back up! :-)
