Or not..
I finished a sock. I truly did. Thing is, once I finished the kitchener stitch and tried it on I realized.. it's too small.
Ok, not TOO too small, just my feet are big (since I am 6'1, and inherited high arches and wide feet from my Mother).
So that got ripped out and frogged back to where I started the toe decreases, so I can add.. oh, say another couple centimeters. I could have worn it, but the heel (specifically the BACK of the heel) was pulled under my foot and it was pretty stretched out. I figure a couple of centimeters, then the decreases and the heel will sit properly and it won't drive me batty.
Then I just have to knit the next one.
Once I've got them done, I will post a picture of them. I have to show off finished socks!
Oh, and I bought some new sock yarn. Didn't get to the store for stitch n' bitch (and thus missed out on the Oceanwind) but when I went the next night I got some real nice stuff that they haven't put out front yet. Or hadn't really planned on.
I already wound it into a ball, and it's such a pretty blue (they had some wonderful greens and a rust and reds there too, but I kept myself to one skein). I'll get the name later, I left it downstairs in my bag and I'm a little lazy at the moment (considering I should already be asleep..) but it's nice. I like it, and I'm looking around for a pattern to use with it. Maybe this one?
But now I'd better get some sleep.
