So I was ill in bed the other day, and after watching Inside Number 23 on youtube, I thought okay if she can knit socks while she is sick so can I. Having previously downloaded a vanilla sock pattern I got that out, a set of 9 inch circulars, and some sock yarn.
Well, I should have taken pictures as it was hilarious. everything went really well, other than the fact that after I turned the heel and had completed about 7 rows of the foot of the sock I was a) almost out of yarn, b) THIS SOCK WAS MASSIVE c)there was just no way it was going to work out into a sock. So I have learned a lesson.
My first mistake was following the size of the needle on the yarn wrap, not on the pattern. Second mistake was thinking that just halving the leg of the sock was going to make everything better and make a sock out of 23 grams of yarn, after the pattern called for a total of 100 grams of yarn for 2 socks, math was not on my side, again I WAS ILL. Really not an excuse but there you go.
I could have made a stunning pair of toeless socks, or heeless, and toeless socks, but an entire sock out of 23 grams of yarn was out of the scope of my amazing talents.
I shall try again, but it does not help with my knitting monogamy at all.
