WednesdayNow that I've tried these on again, I'm thinking I'm definitely going to need to do something different for the cuff. On the second sock, I'll do the ribbing for twice as long, with smaller needles, and see if that works better... if I like it, then the first sock gets re-done. I should have enough yarn to make another pair of shorter socks, although maybe not for someone with feet that are much bigger than mine... I'll have to weigh my socks once they're done and decide what to do with the leftover yarn. I do really like the pattern, though, and I hope that the shorter socks will make them less likely to itch, given that the March socks only really itched above the ankle. Stupid &$#*$@(*$# wool allergy! I also have some of the leftover yarn from the march socks... maybe I'll make myself another pair of those in the shorter length, since the longer ones aren't 100% comfy. One advantage to making shorter socks for myself... more leftover yarn to use for more socks! At this rate, I'll have sock yarn in my stash forever. Speaking of, I'm already getting excited about the July socks... Dalmore continues... I'm about 3 pattern repeats from the end (well, not counting the steeks and bands...) Oh, and last night, after I got back from aerobics, I poured myself a big glass of water. Silly me, I thought that I would be the one who would drink the water. After all, I did pour it into a glass... now you must understand that Cricket has a very nice water bowl just for her, and I fill it up every day with fresh, clean, clear water. Apparently, she would prefer a glass: quid est rei? "what is the matter? 0 comments || # |
