it's no mystery

I wear a size 8.
In both feet.

My mystery socks are taking me a little longer than expected. I guess I just enjoyed the pattern so much, I didn't want to stop. Time to rip.
Have a great day!

  1. Isn't it so easy to get in the groove knitting socks? Not easy to get that perfect fit anyway. Have fun doing it again :-).

  2. well, I've recently done something similar, but I'll blame mine on gauge interpretation. While knitting socks for hubby I made the foot 14" long instead of 12"! I kept thinking they looked a little big...

  5. Uh oh! Besides the length difficulty, they sure look nice.

  8. You are a better person than me! :)
    I meant to ask you, can you not shrink them in any way without felting them?

  9. I'm sorry but I am laughing. That picture is so funny. I like the color you chose for your socks. Very pretty. So glad to have mine done and I am so tempted to start another pair in a solid colored yarn.

  10. That's hilarious! I'm getting close to that stage so I guess it's time to start coming up for a length check now and then.

    Lovely colour choice!

  11. I get so tired of knitting the foot (only a problem knitting cuff down) that I am always checking that last couple of inches to make sure it is just barely long enough for me. I can't imagine knitting it longer by accident!

  14. Are they 100 percent wool? Could you shrink them? (I'm always looking for the easy way out...)

  15. The first pair of socks I ever knit were a "tad" bit on the big side. Kind of got caught up in the knitting and not paying attention to the length...I left them and now use them as my scuff around the house socks. This looks nice and once corrected will be perfect!!!

  16. Oh no! Well, enjoying the pattern is a good thing.

  17. Oh dear, I hate it when that happens...
    I was cruising on my socks, and then I stopped to knit a sweater, poor neglected socks...

    Happy knitting-

  18. The pattern looks lovely! I want to knit some socks, too!

  19. Oh no! The sock is just gorgeous, though. All that nice texture.

  20. I had the opposite problem. I am loving the sock so much I wanted to wear it already, even if it was just the one. I should have added another foot repeat but didn't. My sock *just* fits, if I finesse it on my heel and curl my toes just a little. =]

  21. You know I'm not a big sock knitter, but these I want to make. I have to say that I admire your "rip back" determination. This is the point where I chuck them into a bin never to be looked at again!

  22. I really love those socks!

  23. That happens to me a bunch- I get knitting and I just don't stop and suddenly I have a super giant sock!

    Thanks!

  26. Heehee! I sorta did the same thing with my size 5 feet. Luckily my friend with size 7s wanted them!

  27. I think I would look for a likely larger footed candidate but then you have to part with your socks. I love them in grey.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Yup, being an avid sock knitter I have been there and done that - several times. However, that pattern is awesome - I would want to keep knitting on as well :)

  29. too large or not, they look great!

    ReplyDelete
  30. LOL! Or send them to someone who has a bigger foot!

    ReplyDelete
  31. I would so not be frogging those, I'd be giving them to someone with a bigger foot--wayyy too lazy to redo an already finished sock!

    ReplyDelete
  32. Oops! I really like the striped sock.

  33. There are definitely a lot of details like that to take into consideration. That may be a great point to deliver up. I supply the ideas above as normal inspiration however clearly there are questions just like the one you deliver up where an important thing can be working in trustworthy good faith. I don?t know if greatest practices have emerged around issues like that, but I am sure that your job is clearly identified as a fair game. Anyway, in my language, there are usually not much good source like this.
