Earlier this month, I mentioned that I needed to make a decision on some socks in progress. I gathered up my courage and frogged one of them:
Before
After
Back in May, I wrote about a sinking sensation I had with this sock. I knew it was too big but thought I would keep going. Well, I tried it on again and decided the process of finishing a sock that wouldn’t be wearable wasn’t worth it.
I have since started the sock twice more–I dropped down to 64 stitches and it was still too big. I’m now trying it with 56 stitches. If it is still too big, I’m going to skip the pattern on the foot and just start it for the leg. The lacy ribs pattern is super stretchy which will be nice for the leg portion of the sock, but apparently, not so nice for the foot.
I’m still loving the colorway (Freckles). Such an interesting mix of colors that just works. I’m also continuing to master the Turkish cast on. Hopefully, I will get the size right and finish a pair of socks.
