what have i done!?
looks like a nice, unassuming sock, right? look closer.
this sock could be a board game. i'd call it "holes and ladders." for some reason my gauge completely changed after the heel. i started knitting it SUPER loosely, i don't know why. i was just being a jackass for some reason. so this one looks like crap! i saw how it was turning out and thought, you know? i'm not even going to bother ripping it because it's for me and i don't even care.
it's a handpainted sock yarn i bought from etsy seller ruby297, and it's fabulously soft and pretty. i should have used smaller needles, but i used 3s. like i said, it was a perfect choice until after the heel. whatev.
i have some yarn that was a custom for me, so when i get ready to start on that one i'm actually going to be very serious about it. till next time, socks.
it is freezing in this house! i'm so happy that it's actually cold. in the summer. it's cold enough here in the basement for me to want to turn on the stove. mmmmmm. can't wait till winter. mittens and scarves and love.
heya...the socks are fine, no one is going to eyeball them that closely. that said, i have heard that once you wash socks the little holes go away. especially the one that always pops up by the gusset. that happens to everyone. they look great!
ReplyDeletethanks! it was just so weird that this is the second pair of socks i've ever made, but the first pair came out like, perfect. i think they knew they were going to be a gift, so they behaved. oh well.
ReplyDeletei am going to wash these soon so hopefully they'll tighten up and not be holey.
