The Knit-each-stitch-at-least-twice Sock

February 17th, 2007

I swear I have knit every stitch on this sock at least twice, if not 3 or 4 times. It was smooth sailing until I got to the heel (you already heard about that). I think I tried to get it right a total of four times. Then I thought I was in for the clear up to about the bottom of the calf. I decided to do a lacy increase to account for the sock fitting up my calf. This lacy pattern I made off the top of my head was slanting 1 stitch to the left every other row. Rip-rip back (thank goodness for this Knitty article), knit up some more. Wait a minute, I started the new lace pattern too soon. Rip-rip-rip back.

I’m currently sitting on my computer chair, surfing the internet a bit. I’ve got the sock on with the needles still in (way too lazy to put in the effort to put string through the live stitches) trying to decide if I like the way the foot/heel fits. I don’t want to have to rip back again, but if I have to I’ll pull the whole damn sock out to get it right!

I’m just about ten rows from completing this sock – the first sock of the pair – and I’m actually considering ripping the whole thing out. *Knock on wood* but my only consolation is that the second sock will be waayy easier because I’ll have the pattern mapped out. Well, I guess there’s another consolation: a sock that I love!
