So I've been working very diligently on my 1st sock quite a bit lately. Last week at church the woman who's been helping me knit it had me turn the heel and then pick up the stitches that I hadn't been knitting with while working on the heel. After getting all the stitches back onto the needles and into the knitting rotation, she sent me off with the instructions to knit the next 3 rounds and then call her for the next instruction. Well that happened really quick and then I dropped a stitch somehow (hate when that happens). My knitting group meets up most Wednesday evenings so I brought the sock to them to see if they could help me and possibly help me figure what I needed to do next since I hadn't heard back from the woman who's been helping me. So one of the ladies at knitting group helped me fix the dropped stitch and gave me the next instruction.
All has been fine since then with the exception of some more dropped stitches (but I was able to fix them myself easily) and a broken dpn (double pointed needle). Thankfully I had an extra dpn on hand and then I bought a few more today (just in case) and notified the company that makes the dpns that I am using since they have a 5 year replacement guarantee and will send replacement dpns to me for free.
In between sock knitting I've also been working on the 2 blankets that I've had going also. It's a nice change of pace to have the blankets to work on when I need a break from the socks or am not sure what to do next on the sock.
