I Haz a Sok
I finished the first of the Pagoda Socks last night. I had almost completed it Sunday evening when I was at Weber’s during the power outage. I got down to the last 16 stitches but I discovered I’d forgotten to bring a tapestry needle with my knitting gear. This is probably just as well since it was close to midnight at the time and I was a little slap-happy from finishing my first sock. Kitchener stitch requires a bit more attention than I was up to at the moment, I’m certain.
So, here it is. A sock. A feat of knitting engineering. I made this, I did I did I did.
This fits my chunky calf and teeny foot, but it’s loose around the ankle. When I knit the second sock, I’ll go down a needle size on the heel flap and gusset (and maybe go down yet another needle size on the foot). I don’t want to start messing around with adding decreases or removing rows from the heel flap until I’ve gotten more experience making socks.
Oh, and I did cast on for the second Pagoda sock this evening. I will not succumb to Second Sock Syndrome.
