Hai! I’m with stupid!

Ugh

Let us just say that my knitting-black-thumb streak continues. Call it my fault for not reading the line below the chart that read “Chart only shows odd numbered rows, k all stitches on even numbered rows”, or call it the pattern writer’s fault for putting a few things between that line and the chart, and not numbering the rows on the chart so that it’s painfully obvious to someone like me who doesn’t do a lot of lace and doesn’t understand that lace charts aren’t like the other charts… whatever. Back to frog pond with these socks!

At first I was thinking that I might wind the two strands together, make a hat, and be done with the yarn; but the more I fondle it (it’s a 50/50 wool/mohair from Green Mountain Spinnery) the more it reminds me of some mystery wool I picked up in Scotland; I’m thinking the two might combine nicely into something bigger than a hat.

ouch* i'm way past the heel and into the foot of my LionBrand sock ease Crusoe and must frog. i didn't think the small ness would matter until i tried it on and the heel stitches stretch out so far...oouch. this is the first time i've ever had socks come too small for my tiny fat feets.

Good thing you learned from that mistake before you taught a class in making that particular sock pattern.
