Today, my beautiful Pomatomus socks went from this -
to this -
all because of this -
and now I am sad. I knit these socks last summer while camping in Missouri with Scott’s family; I don’t believe the temperatures dipped below 95F so I spent the weekend in the shade or in the water, trying my hardest to stay cool.
I love this pattern. However, I knit these socks slightly too big for my small feet; I ripped both so I can knit them a bit smaller next time around. Of course, I’m totally knitting this pattern again because I love it so much. I’m hoping I love it even more with the socks fitting my feet this time around.
Of course, these won’t get knit until I finish my Jaywalkers. (On a sidenote, I’m glad I printed the pattern when I did, as Magknits has been taken down. Which is too bad.)
In other news, I’m very psyched it’s the weekend. Oh, glorious Saturday and Sunday mornings, how I covet you so.
Poor sockie! You must have caught it on something.

Ohh, SUCK. Any idea where the hole came from?! I might have had a stroke if that had happened to me.
I completely agree with you about the weekends, by the way. I never appreciated weekends so much until I got the job I have now.

I would have just cried! All that work….. At least you’re gung ho to make another pair from the same yarn. I never would have thought of reusing the same yarn.
