The Sock that Ate Chicago
So…what did YOU do this weekend? Did you finish something you started? Perhaps start something new? And me? Well, I started the sock over again. Behold, the latest incarnation of the Pink and blue yarn.
I had lost my place on the “easy to remember/pick up where you left off” pattern on Saturday. Tried tinking back to a spot that I could resume apace, but the whole thing quickly became a big mess - so out it came - for the fourth time? Perhaps fifth. I must say, the yarn seems to be taking the abuse well. That mess of yarn is what’s left to knit before I’m back to the amount I had previously knitted before this rip happened….oy.
So anyway, Saturday night, while watching the 3 TIVO’d episodes of American Idol we had archived, I somehow became emboldened to try the short row toe-up version again. Very cool how I actually have a top and bottom to the toe with the color patterning. (here’s the sole/underneath part of the toe)…
Sure hope I can find that same spot on the yarn for the next sock so I can get the toes to match. Ha! I hope I get the first sock done at this point!! Anything after that will just be a bonus.
Hey, how about Eunny getting the editor job at Interweave Knits! Looking forward to Pam Allen’s future endeavors as well, now that her time will be her own. It sounds like it was an amiable split. She’s done a fabulous job at IK. So…how nice for them to be able to obtain the cream of the knitting crop to keep Interweave Knits the magazine we all look forward to each time it comes out.
