Crusoe update

I was having a little trouble picking up the gusset stitches last night - either the light quality or the several glasses of wine, or both - so I prudently set the sock aside. I'm using a gusset method I saw yesterday (on someone's blog - where?) that asked do I want to do it the fast way or the pretty way. The pretty way involves two needles, and the motion "pick up and knit" becomes two motions, "pick up" and "knit."

FWIW I found what looks like a mistake in the Crusoe pattern. Or it could be my own densisticy. Densoticy. Denseness. Here 'tis:

"Turn Heel
Note: For Sl 1, slip stitches purlwise.
Rw 1: [RS] K 13 (14), ssk, k1. Turn.
Rw 2: Slp 1, p3, p2tog, p1. Turn.
Rw 3: Slp 1, k4, ssk, k1. Turn."

I'm making the larger pattern, which will probably still not be large enuff for my size elevens, and when I sl 1 p3 p2tog p1 following a k14 ssk k1 and followed by a sl 1 k4 ssk k1, I end up with a lopsided heel.

Tinked back to row 2 and changed the p3 to a p5, which made row 3 be a k6, and so on, and I have a nice little heel turned. I dunno, maybe if I was making the smaller pattern p3 would have worked. Suffice to say it does not work on the larger pattern. Or maybe I'm doing it wrong.

Another note: probably because of my changes, I ended up picking up 13, not 12, gusset stitches, plus the one from the row below (to prevent a hole), which when added to the seven heel stitches already on my needle gives me 21, not 13, stitches on N1.
