The eye-of-partridge maneuver was eliminated from the event due to in-elasticity at the ankle and a slip stitch heel was performed instead. The heel turn was executed with precision and the gusset has been fully decreased. It is all downhill from the instep to the toe, and then the second half of the pair will commence with that leg. The times must be faster in the second half, or the knitter will fall behind the pace needed to finish ahead of the competition.
