Well, after a conversation with a friend at work, I began to doubt my sock. First she pointed out that my kitchener stitch was inside out.And it was true.
I knew that, but I had been politely ignoring it.
But then she noted that the fabric of the sock was better suited to a sweater and a sock should be tighter so that you can't feel the stitches under your foot when you're wearing it.
That had been my secret complaint about the sock when I tried it on, but I had also been politely ignoring that problem as well.
Since most of the socks I've made in my life were nonfunctional (really), these are considerations that hadn't really occured to me before.
Most of the spinning and knitting I've done was done for expression and not functionality. In fact when I finished Sock for my fears, sock for my serenity, I realized that I could make a sweater.
So at any rate, frogging ocurred yesterday.
Today, reknitting begins.
