Or is it really you... my second pair of socks are giving me fits.. they started out great... my friend Aaron taught me about using the Magic Loop method and all was going well till I encountered a mistake in the pattern... I tried to get help from my favorite knitting shop and at first they were helpful till I figured out that they had steered me wrong and that had I gone to the website for the pattern all would have been well and good and I might have an almost completed sock by now... but alas.. I got frustrated and ripped the sock apart and started over with a different sock yarn hoping that it would go better... and it started to... till I hit a stupid snag and wound up dropping stitches all over the place... tried to get help from same knitting shop and this time they barely even tried to help me.. so I tried in vain and wound up ripping it all again... thought that maybe it's the method I was using... so I switched to dpns (double pointed needles for the non-knitters).. and somehow I didn't join the sock correctly (thankfully I noticed after 3 rounds so the ripping out process wasn't as gut wrenching as the previous 2) and that got ripped out also and I have put the project away for the time being.
Instead I have pulled out one of two blankets that I had moved to the back burner of my projects. The one that I selected to work on ... it's a nice project and the pattern is easy enough to do... but it's just not socks... yet it needs love too. Once things calm down I'll be able to go back to the sock project that I was really loving.. and hopefully with the original yarn that I was using since I do have 2 skeins of it (the first skein is in a heap in my closet - protected from my cats,kids and myself in a big Ziploc bag- and currently in a timeout).
So maybe it's you, maybe it's me... maybe it's just the rhythm of the sea..
