Ain't that a Shame
Well I completed my first "winter sock". I certainly figured out the pattern, that is after I stumbled through many of the steps. However, tomorrow I am going to frog it until above the heel. While it is certainly wearable, it is not very comfortable.
First things first. Not that I am trying to blame the pattern, even though that is by far what I want to do. The inseam and the foot bed are just to small. The leg is great, just the right size. But the foot could have been an inch longer. I do have feet that border on the large size. So I am going to redo that portion.
Second reason I desperately need to frog! Well, I stumbled through it. Thus, my sock doesn't look that pretty. So hopefully the next go will be much smoother. I do think I will be purchasing a different sock pattern though. This one is just kind of ugly to begin with.
It reminds me of the slippers I used to receive from my great-grandmother every Christmas. Minus the pom-poms she used to add onto the toes. Hey maybe I will follow her lead, if they are already heinous, I may as well do it right.

Someone recently told me that the difference between an "okay" knitter and a "great" knitter is a "great" knitter will redo their knitting until it's the way they want it. So congratulations.....you're a Great Knitter!
