| Uh oh... |
Yeah me! I finished the first Herringbone sock last night. It's amazing what progress can be made when actual knitting occurs on a project. Although the first sock is done...including all the ends woven & toe 'kitchenered'...it has a problem. A rather important problem. It does not fit on my foot...easily.
Oh I can get it on, but I must pull & tug the heel portion rather harshly. Once it's pulled up over the heel the sock fits great. For whatever reason this sock that claims "the bold ribs add stretch for a more forgiving fit" lies. Simple as that...the fit is not forgiving at my ankle. In fact I'm amazed I haven't pulled it apart given the amount of stress I've applied.

Stay tuned for the second sock. I'm going to make a few changes to the second one and hopefully get one that will glide up & over my heel.

That seems to be my problem everytime I make socks. If you solve it, let me know how.
Mountaingmom, I'll keep you posted on how it turns out. I have no idea what I did different, but it doesn't like going over the heel. Second sock is coming along nicely...
