The other night I had one of those knitter’s nightmares. You know the one, where you knit and knit and knit your socks-in-progress but never make any progress on it. Imagine my horror the next evening when I settled in to work on them and realized that the damn foot is a half-inch too long (note to self: my short-row heel is two inches long, not 1.5) making them unacceptably loose and baggy around the instep. I thought about just pressing on and maybe giving these socks as a gift (I mean, after all, they are bound to fit SOMEONE), but y’all, I love these socks. Seriously, dat orange! And so today my 2 toe-up socks went from this:
to this:
(That is the superfluous half-inch waiting to be frogged.)
Clearly, I can see the future so here’s your lotto numbers: 05-11-14-20-31 / 16
Knitting Interrupted 
Runs to the nearest convenience store to play the lotto!
LOL!!! I’ll share my winnings with you if those numbers are right. ;)
Sorry about the frogs :( But in the end you’ll get a lovely pair of bright orange socks!
Isn’t one of the advantages about knitting toe up is supposed to be that you can check size continuously as you go? it’s never worked for me; mine are always too long. Love the orange though, so I’d frog too!
