In the Meantime…

I needed something to keep my hands busy while I block the Aragon Tunic, so I cast on to the Herringbone Rib Socks.  I know I should be working on those lace stockings, but I decided to frog the progress I had made on the first one.  My cables were going the wrong way, and while I tried for several days to be okay with that, it just wasn’t working.  So, rather than launch right back into a stocking pattern that would take me forever and a day, I decided to start the shorter, easier Herringbone.

Good call.  The pattern was easy to memorize and quick to knit.  I’m already on the heel of the first sock.  Of course, the smallest double points I had on hand were 2, so I went ahead and used those, knitting the smaller size and hoping that the extra width will end up perfect for my wide feet.  It also means that I’m cutting back on some of the length, going more by measurement rather than by number of rows.  I’m also being a very good girl and keeping a log of all the changes in row numbers, so that I can duplicate it on the second sock.  Yay me!  So far, I’m loving them; they should be nice and cozy for when the weather turns cold again.
