The Sock Nightmare Part 2
I am having such a hard time with my sock knitting. I spent most of the weekend working on this sock:
I turned my first heal around midnight last night and I was full of excitement until I tried to put the stinkin sock on. I have fairly wide feet but it's not like I am Bigfoot. I am mostly just disappointed because I spent hours on this and now I have to rip it out. Ah, I guess such is the life of a knitter. I have another pattern that you cast on 80st so I think I am going to try that next. The pattern that I used for the above sock can be found here, and it was super simple. I might just adjust this pattern to my large foot gauge because it seems like a very easy pattern to adjust. Either way I think I am going to put sock knitting aside for a bit so I don't lose my sanity.
Daniel is taking a big trip to Mammoth next week and I decided I need to knit him a new hat. I have been looking for a pattern today with earflaps that does not tie under the chin. It would need ribbing around the edge to keep it from flipping up and Daniel has requested that it is not very long in the front so it does not hit his goggles. So tonight I am hoping to figure out the pattern and knit him up the hat out of some black Lamb's Pride Bulky I bought this weekend. Lets hope this doesn't turn in to a fiasco too.
I also picked out some handspun wool/mohair from Solvang Spinning and Weaving this weekend.
Pinks and greens, no surprise there:
I have yet to decide what it will become.
