« Spring | Main | I made yarn! »

Annoyance

So I mentionned a bit ago that I had started my sockapaloooza socks .. . Right. Well, apparently I'm not that good at knitting socks for someone with bigger feet than me. The socks were eating up yarn at an alarming rate, and my math just made a big ass sock.

Anyone have a foot that is 9" around who can tell me how many stiches you cast on with dk yarn? So I frogged, not before taking guage in the round, and I think I just need to take into account negative ease and will start again with a new stich count, and probably a pattern from Sensational Knitted Socks.

On the personal level, I got up at 5:30am today to go to the gym to swim (I put some minutes on my bike on a wind trainer in my basement last night) . .. I only brought swimming things, was wearing my bathing suit, and got there and realized I must have left my goggles in the shower at the gym on Friday. I'm wearing contacts. I go to the lost and found, and they said even if they had found them, they would have thrown them out. So, I drove back home, got dressed and went to work. Ugh.

Comments

Mine are 9.5 around, ad I've just knit a couple of DK pairs in the 54-58 range--so maybe 50 or so?
