Current WIP count: 7
So the heel worked, yaaay!
But.
I tried it on and it fits, but the leg is just too long for me, and I’m seriously considering frogging back to shorten it.
Is that a bad choice? I think I might do it anyway.
Flax was my procrastination project while I was avoiding the heel so I’m almost at the bottom ribbing.
I was put on furlough from work today so it shouldn’t be too long til this is finished. Silver lining!
It’s definitely time to get some of these WIPs finished off so that will be my focus for a while.

Definitely rip them back…remember you’ve another sock to make after this one, so it won’t be a waste to rip it back as it’ll save you time doing it’s buddy after. 😀

Wow, you are making speedy progress on the sweater! I agree with other people’s comments – if you feel you should rip back your socks, go with your instinct. You’ll be happier when you wear them and after all, more knitting can be a good thing, right?

I agree, Rio out the excess. After all they are for you – and you know that you can do the heel now 😁

The positive side to ripping back the sock is that you get to practice doing the heel again. It wasn’t bad, right? Once you get the gist, it is very intuitive.

I did have a few moments of doubt, so it will be nice to do the heel again with more confidence. Also my first few M1Rs were wrong so I’m glad I get to fix that.

I agree, better to know now that you’re not happy with the fit & frog. You’ll wear them more if they’re exactly what you want, and reknitting will be great practice!

So sorry that you are being furloughed! When does it start?
Your sweater and sock are looking great! Agree – if you are not happy with the sock length, frog and redo. Practice doesn’t hurt, and then you will have socks you love 🙂

I started some day last week (I’m really struggling to keep track). It’s only for 3 weeks at the moment, but I bet that will be extended.

It’s good that its finite, anyway! I hope it isn’t extended at all and you are able to go back sooner rather than later!
