Floppy socks.
After finishing up another Jayne tonight, I pulled out the second Crusoe to work on. I’m about halfway down the ankle. About a half hour ago, my husband found a thin double-pointed needle (DPN) wedged into the side of his chair and asked, “Are you missing this?”
I looked at it. It was a #1 bamboo needle. This was very odd, since I was already using my full set of 5 #1 bamboo DPNs for the sock I was working on. Or so I thought – upon closer inspection, it looks like I pulled out my #2 needles when I cast on for the second sock. The needles had been in my case because I was using them to knit my daughter’s doll. So the second sock is being knitted on bigger needles than the first.
Great. Just great. Well, it’s only half a millimeter’s difference. Gauge looks to be pretty much the same, so maybe I’ll just switch to #1s now and keep going. I won’t tell if you won’t.
Hats up for: WI, MN, TN
D’oh! If anything, I wouldn’t change until you finish the cuff and start the heel flap.
