The Betrayal of The Blue Loom

[theyarnproject]

This morning, was one of those mornings, where I could have just stayed in bed. It was just chilly enough, to be nice and comfy, under the quilt. Unfortunately, my dog had other ideas.

Have you tried it on?

Welcome, Stepford Michael. Glad you have finally discovered the soothing effects of yarn.

As to the sock - first try it on and make sure it is too small. If it is you have three choices:

1. undo the grafting and add two inches.
2. Use it as a reminder of why you don't like looms.
3. Frog it and use the yarn for something else.

Hugs and have a great therapy session,

The sock MOST DEFINITELY is WAY too small. But, I shall keep it, just to remind me of my loom hatred. Lol.

Helpful hint. I never use my store bought socks as a guide to knitted socks. I take a tape measure and measure my foot every time. They look huge because my knitted socks aren't as stretchy. Du wears size 12-13 shoe and I believe his foot length is 11.5 inches total so I would start the toe decreases at 9.5 inches.

Thank you. This is good to know, as I STILL have two pairs, to make.
