Avoiding the sock..

I don’t have second sock syndrome.. I can’t get through the first one! I keep making mistakes little stupid mistakes and it is frustrating! I just can’t get past the heel. And this is the sock I am designing for the book!!!

Gail’s heel is great! I get it, I have it down! But I have just done dumb things around the heel. First I did the heel in a garter stitch pattern, but there is an extra line where the color change is. So I pulled it out. Then I got through the heel but I had not placed a stitch on the loom properly from pulling it out so I had a stitch dangling there.
Now I think I did something similar but I can’t tell.. so you guessed it I probably have to pull it out again! So I am avoiding it by making squares..I have 5 out of 9 done so I will just plug away at it till I have all nine done.
Then the edging.. by then I ought to be ready to try the socks again. If not I have a poncho to do.. which I am also not to happy with. UGH!
I need to get moving!

17 days till vacation. 21 days till my deadline. Which means yep.. 17 days till my deadline because I can’t take it with me!

To top it off this week has been rough. It’s one of those weeks that we have barely 2 cents to rub together. Can’t sleep, so I am tired which could account for the mistakes then I am frustrated so it just goes around and around!
Ah well at least the squares are easy..

Later with some pictures and a new addition to my knitting notions!:mrgreen:

  1. Maybe your 1 cent and my 1 cent, we can get them together and rub them together, lol.
    Relax for a bit, take a break and pick up your needles-knit for fun. A break from looming is probably the trick, then come back to it with a fresh mind.

  2. Hi Denise! Thanks *so* much for your submission to my contest!!! I really appreciate it! Thanks for your address as well — keep your eyes open for the winner!
