Happy Socktober! I am wishing you this whether you are observing Socktober or not, in spite of Sighkey’s cautionary tale in yesterday’s comments.
Actually, Socktober has taken a slightly sad turn chez fibermom. As I came up to the heel of the second Log Cabin sock, I discovered that I had twisted one of the first cables in the wrong direction. As is always the case with knitting errors, I spent a little time in denial, trying to convince myself that a) no one would notice or b) I could fix it without frogging the whole thing, but by now the yarn is in a sad little pile and I am beginning again. Maybe one pair of socks will be enough for this Socktober.
My to-do list for today is very long, including shopping for clothes with the boys, helping with the madrigal costumes, a trip to the pumpkin patch, groceries, laundry, buying the fabric for The Princess’s gift, canning, baking, and sewing, as well as random errands and housework. I had intended to finish that second sock this weekend, but now it may not happen.
Probably there will be no dire consequences if it doesn’t.
have a good weekend…
Wishing knitters a happy Soctober is probably fine.
I am personally not knitting socks at the moment, although I am considering the possibility of doing so. It seems like an appropriate thing to do at this time of year because it’s getting cooler.
I have made socks in the past, and then worn them, washed them and found they no longer fit the shrinkage around was OK, but the shrinkage in length was uncomfortable.
I’m probably doing something wrong.
