sock it to me
So I'm trying again. I've attempted numerous patterns lately, trying to start another pair of socks, but to no avail. I keep screwing things up and frogging the entire bloody thing.
This time I got past the cuff - which I finally got a stretchy enough cast on that I think that it will actually fit my leg. I put a life-line in, I don't want to rip the whole thing out again. After each pattern repeat, I'll be replacing my life-line, in hopes that I can get through the entirety of the blasted thing.
In case anyone is wondering, I'm using this pattern - Slippery. The crazy kroy sock yarn (Patons, not Patron) needs something that either stands out - like this or just a simple old pattern, because the gradient striping is just too much for a delicate pattern. Now if only I could pay attention to where the hell I am in the pattern and not screw up my actual stitches.
I made a fuzzy nook-case. The right size for any ebook reader. I need to make a secondary one that I actually write out the pattern and then I can share it. That was easy - bulky yarn, size 10 needles, fast, quick, and dirty. Didn't rip that out.
So back to the socks. I will win. I will get rainbow hued cable socks dammit. I just hope I don't throw the yarn out the window or sacrifice it to the cat before I get them.
