Joy I pmed you!! Are they dry yet?


I'm "encouraging" them in the airing cupboard. Thank you for your very helpful pm Gilraen.

Did you measure your feet in inches & times it by the spi?  This is how I ensure a good fit (after deleting 10&)  


Sadly not Blue - I suppose because I've never needed to. And I suppose also several club members had already completed theirs before I had started mine I'd waited to see how any potential pitfalls could have been avoided. I was so intent on all these new techniques I have been learning that maybe I missed the obvious, but I'm not sure I am sufficiently experienced in sock knitting yet to adjust a pattern while learning a new stitch pattern.

I had known it would relax, and I'm not blaming the yarn, just wanting it not to happen again. This is how we learn, isn't it.

How disappointing for you Joy Sad

I've been watching your construction of this sock with great interest and admiration....I hope the size issue is sorted out as it dries but as the others have said you have learnt and mastered  some excellent skills and techniques for your future socks.

Thank you all so much for your help and advice, which I so appreciate.

I am just about to pop photos in the "Look What I Made" section - it's not quite the disaster it at first appeared.
