This week has been very long, and very hard. With a screaming, teething toddler, two bored older kids, a very grumpy self, and a migraine, I've been in a rotten mood to say the least! I tried spinning some of the beautiful fibers I purchased a while ago, and ugh. I almost threw it all out the window. I decided to start knitting myself something happy and cheery and focus on that.
And so, I have one sock of the two done! The simple Spring Forward socks from Knitty, done in Dream in Color Smooshy. I'm underwhelmed by the yarn. I won't be purchasing it again, but it served the purpose intended of cheering me up. Unfortunately, the socks have to stretch a lot around my foot, and I'm afraid they'll wear out quickly. Bummer-they're super cute! I added rows to the heel flap and picked up more stitches for a longer gussett, and if I hadn't, the sock would never go on. I do NOT have big feet- US 6-7, generally a 6.5, but I have a super high arch. Grrr. I'll finish the pair, and I guess start ANOTHER pair and try different modifications. I think I need to read up on some other methods of sock construction!
