The Sock Saga

I started the sock as planned. I knit the mini cuff and then went to bed. I even tried it on to make sure it would fit my ankle. I was pleased that it had a nice fit.

Since I thought I'd get in a little knitting time at lunch, I loaded the project and all the notions into the car. I made the mistake, while in a hurry, of putting the sock into my purse so I would not have to take another bag into the office. Upon unzipping my purse, I yanked one needle completely out of the sock and dropped more stitches than I cared to pick-up.

I restarted the sock last night. My son needed something, so I gingerly put the project down, hoping not to upset any of the needles.

When I resumed the project, I noticed a knot in the yarn, created by me, so I frogged again.

For the third time, I cast-on for the sock, late at night. I should have known it was too late and I was too tired because I actually had trouble casting-on! I did manage to cast-on the required stitches, then proceeded to knit a few rows. When I could barely keep my eyes open, I noticed a strange area at the beginning of my cast-on that looked like hole. I probably could have fixed this with the weaving in of the ends but I didn't want to chance it.

I will attempt to start this scok again tonight. Hopefully, I'll get to do it before I'm too tired to do it properly.

I'd like to thank Michelle and Bliss for the encouragement. I really think I'm going to like sock knitting.
