You wouldn’t guess from a casual glance at it, but I’ve been knitting quite a bit on my Bacchus sock. I know I’ve knit a whole sock’s worth by now, but I’ve ripped back and reknit at least three times now. At one point last night, I had it just past the heel, but when I tried it on, it was a wee bit too short. And before that, I realized right as I was ready to start the heel that I had done something really stupid and knit the left foot graph on the right foot sock. So I had to rip back and fix that problem. All this after I’d ripped back the first time to fix the bobble issue.
Well, they’re looking pretty good now. I’m almost back to the heel-turning part, and I’ve got a bunch of cute little bobbles that I’m happy with. They’re the ones the designer intended, the second ones I described in my last post – she showed up on the Ravelry discussion and cleared things right up. Very cool.
Here’s what the sock looked like at some point yesterday with the new bobbles and the wrong shaping.
I’ve actually been bouncing around between a few projects, some of which I haven’t talked about yet. I just took a bunch of photos, though, and am off to schedule some follow-up posts to share.
I don’t knit toe up, generally, because I find it hard to determine when to start the heel. Maybe it’s just a matter of getting used to it?
