If At First You Don't Succeed...

try, try again, right?  The sock in the last post was ripped out Thursday night after I got the heel flap done (why is it looking so funky???) and realized I had only cast on to 3 needles instead of 4.  I've never been a whiz at math, but even I should be able to figure out 16 + 16 + 16 does not equal 64.  You'd think, anyway.  So, the sock was restarted on 4 needles and I started knitting away.  Until Saturday night.  When I had gotten a few repeats of the leg done, tried it on and saw that it was too big.  So it was ripped out again.  On to the size 0 needles.  I have the leg done and it appears to be fitting well.  I hope to get the heel flap done, the heel turned and the stitches for the gussets picked up.  Whew.  The pattern itself is not a problem, fairly easy as long as I don't zone out too much and forget when to stop at the end of the round (yes, even with a stitch marker to remind me).  For anyone interested, I'm loving my new Hiya Hiya DPN's I picked up last week. And this beautiful skein of Cascade Yarns Heritage Silk Paints (85% merino superwash wool/15% mulberry silk).  This stuff feels heavenly! 

And the sock:

The pattern doesn't show up well in the picture.  A tiny bit more progress on Sancuary of Knowledge.  I probably would have stitched on this more if it wasn't for the sock fiasco.

A little fairy is making an appearance in the lower left corner of this page at the edge of the column.  And a pitiful few stitches in Nature's Little Helper.

Happy Stitching.
