I don't know if I'd consider this a "booboo" or an "unexpected enhancement". After I frogged the Slide socks last week, I had planned to cast on again with a different yarn. Somehow or another I managed to cast on for a totally different pair of socks called Rick by Cookie A. that I had a history with.
quick summary: I started knitting them a long time ago and was doing well until I was halfway down the foot an saw the foot was twisting. I couldn't figure out how to fix it so I frogged the entire thing. Over a year later, I was flipping through the book and discovered there was a separate foot chart...duh!)
So this time, I did well. I got the foot chart photocopied and went to work. I worked down be leg and by Saturday night, I did the heel flap and the turn heel. I made sure I had he foot chart in front of me and I went to work. It was looking great! I could really see the design coming together and I thought that zig looked cool...until I looked at the pictures of he sock and doubled checked which foot I was doing...there was no zig or even a zag, just a slanted look. Suffice it to say, I did the leg for the right leg, and the foot for the left foot.
I just hope I remember to to mess up the other foot too!
Lol that made me laugh but it will make for a really cool pair of socks and of course you always say you planned it that way :)
ReplyDeleteThat's how a role with almost all of my "mistakes".
DeleteOh dear ... it's gonna feel great to finally get that pattern done. I made these too - in a very similar red to what you're using. They've been well-loved for years!
ReplyDeleteGlad you like them too. I'm sure mine will be just as well loved.
Deleteunexpected enhancement. for sure.

DeleteYou sound like me...I've messed up so much lately that if I didn't I would probably have all my YOP's done! LOL! For next year too! Ha! Ha! The sock looks great though despite it all.
