Houston We Have a Problem
I can honestly say this ones not my fault.
While I love the look of the madelon tosh sock
in purple and creme,
it wants to roll.
I have about 200 plus stitches live now on a lifeline.
I have 22 rows left to knit and that's about 4500 stitches if you do the math, without a few increases.
I'm thinking I will frog it. Yup. Without any tears, or regrets.
I did not have one messed up stitch either…of course I did drop some stitches along the way but I caught them …
Nothing will change the fact that
the design flaw makes it want to roll and I know no amount of blocking will change that.
I feel strangely free.
I know that just barreling through the next 4500 stitches and ending up with a rolling shawl would make me C R A Z Y
(er)
Carry on!
I may knit some fingerless with that yarn.
I've been enamored with Allfreeknittings bluebell fingerless.
I want a lace challenge..
It is only 4 rows. That is my lace limit. :)

Ideas, Thoughts? No tears though!
One the cat front:
Beatles is my pretend outside cat.
He was out on the leash looking so magnificent yesterday.
He cries when we bring him in.
Happy labor Day.

I wish more cat owners used a leash. My neighborhood is overrun with cats. I don't like that they kill birds and rabbits and leave the bodies in my yard.
Hugs,

Love that photo of Beatles! He looks a bit like my Socrates in that photo. Joy!
We tried taking Shelby outside yesterday. She cried and cried to go out. So, I put the leash on her, opened the door and all of the sudden ....outside was NOT where she wanted to be. Guess the big world was bigger than she thought.
OMG I am in love with the seed stitch mitts. I think I'm having seed stitch withdrawal. I haven't knit any for at least three months.
Beatles is so cute in the grass on the leash!
