Well Hello and Happy Friday!
Happy Groundhog's Day too. I wonder what Phil will predict. And I wonder if our own Steve the Beav will make an appearance. My guess is not. It is cloudy and I heard gentle rain during the night. At least it's warmer - 40 degrees this morning.
On to the title of this post. Last night I finished the first Crescent Moon Sock:
I love it. I love the crescent moons. I love the two little stripes that I added before the toe decreases. But my friends...this is the first and last Crescent Moon Sock. I can't get it over my foot! Yes, it goes onto the foot ok (and that toe and the stripes look so cute!), but where the crescent moons are I apparently knit extremely tightly and I cannot stretch it to go over my heel!
So...I will not be ripping it back (I do cuff down socks and there is no way I'm ripping back that entire sock.) My guess is that I will eventually just throw it out (but I can't bring myself to do that right now). There is not enough yarn left to make two socks, so the yarn will sit for awhile too. I suppose I could make shortie socks, but I really don't like them and wouldn't wear them.
It's ok in the long run. It's only yarn and it's not a life or death situation. Am I disappointed? Yes. Am I angry? No. What would be the point?
There are still no ideas that popped into my head for the February Sock Squad yarn, so today I will find yarn in my stash and cast on for a simple pair of socks...or a shawl...or something. I'm meeting up with Dee tomorrow and I MUST have something to knit! LOL And casting on while chatting with a friend is not a good idea for me...I need to have something new started today. I have no idea what that will be, but I'll let you know another time.
Meanwhile, I do wish you all a wonderful weekend. Here's hoping you find some fun and some joy!
