Tuesday night I finally finished the cuff on one sock. It came to 4½”, which is the same length as those blue, green, and yellow knitted socks my mother gave me last Christmas. I’m really pleased with how the stripes came out with this yarn. I had expected something more erratic when I picked up the balls.
I started on the heal and, of course, my troubles have started anew. I got 3 rows in and discovered I had lost a stitch. So I backed out a row — is there a knitting term for that? Frogging? The second heal row was also a stitch short and I couldn’t figure out where it had lost the stitch so I pulled out that row too. Back down to the first row of the heal which was supposed to be *s1 k1* across 28 stitches, there were 28 stitches, but upon close investigation, I had skipped some k1’s in there. So, I frogged some more stitches and reworked the row, but when I got to the end, it looked just as bad or worse, and it’s really not a difficult pattern! I tried to fix it one more time without positive result and then put it away and went sulkily to bed.
