But at least not imagining things.
It turns out if you keep scrolling through Diagon Ally, past the charts, there are in fact written instructions for each foot. Sigh.
See what I mean about lacking brain power right now?
So the socks have come out of the naughty corner, and as of this morning I can just about see the beginning of the foot pattern emerging.
Hopefully I have enough wits left to follow the written part and I won’t have to frog the whole sock. Do please keep your fingers crossed for me!

I’m happy you found the written instructions!
This could be an opportunity for you to “follow the chart” as you knit the written instructions. That’s how I learned to read a chart.

Keeping my fingers, toes and dpns crossed for you! I am sure you’ll be fine. That yarn is sooo pretty. I love the little specks of green.

I’m glad you were able to continue! I was definitely hesitant on charts for a bit but once I spend a little time they really improved my knitting time.

I too wonder if you can use this as an opportunity to reference & compare the written instructions and become more comfortable with charts! For me, charts work great for knitting time as well as for reducing mistakes as I knit, since they provide a visualization of stitch positioning relative to previous rows.

It’s all very well crossing my fingers for you, but that is a position that makes it extremely difficult to do anything else, you know .. Like, continue on with my t.b. .. 😀

I always forget to read through the pattern before starting a project. I’m so excited, I just jump right in! Maybe that’s what’s going on with you, too?

That’s the daft thing. I definitely did read it through because I would never have started if it only had a chart. But then I just convinced myself I’d imagined it!
