my lace sock is doing well these days.. It is growing steadily as I work on it.. and just think when it is done, I get to do it all over again to make the second sock. Ugh. The gusset has been finished and I'm working on the just knit around and around phase.. though with this sock there is a pattern so the heel stitches are in the knit all the stitches phase and the pattern stitches are still being knitted according to the pattern that I have established till I am within 2" of my toes phase.
It's these pattern stitches that have been giving me fits as of late. So last night at knitting group I made sure to sit in the vicinity of Obi Wan K-nitty (aka Aaron).. and something amazing happened... the Jedi Knitter vibes took over my knitting and the pattern stitches somehow sorted themselves out.. I didn't all of the sudden have extra stitches trying to be part of the pattern like I was having problems with last week. I even brought the sock to work today and got a few rounds of knitting done between customers. Hopefully if no other problems crop up out of the blue, I should have a finished sock in no time and then I will get to do it all again. But this time I'll have my notes and check off lists to help me (hopefully) only need 1 try to get it right and not 4 tries like the first sock did.
