Soothe it Willie
That is right, soothe it Willie. Nothing can cure my knitting madness quiet like a glass of wine and some old Willie Nelson. I am talking old Willie, Hello Walls and especially Face of a Fighter. This is circa 1957.
Anyways, I have been working on my "sock," using the magic loop method and while it is going alright, it is not great. There are certainly some complicated directions when it comes to shaping the inseam of the sock. Right now it really feels like I am knitting Gumby some PJs. Yikes, well hopefully I will be done with it tomorrow and then I can try on my one sock. I really hope it works out.
In particular there is one direction I can not seem it figure out. When shaping the inseam it tells me to k1, k8b, ssk. I just don't know what k8b is. I checked out the terminology in my big knitting dictionary and came up short. What does it mean. I don't think it means knit below, because that just does not make sense.
Needless to say, I had to call my sister last night for some advice on the subject. She came up short as well. At least she is on the case as well. I guess we will see what happens tomorrow and then we can see if I should even bother to make another one. I really hate the one sock, one mitten, short sleeve syndrome.
You also know you have knitting madness, when you start editing pictures of your cats.
