My Socktober Socks are looking good!
Only one problem…I have size 10 wide feet. I have big lady feet, since I was like 12. I’ve simply learned to deal. I managed to adapt the pattern to fit said size 10 feet. However, I failed to calculate correct yardage on the project….oops! I only have enough yarn for a single tall sock or a regular sock with a partial toe section of hte second.
Lessons learned….patience tested….I’m finishing this as a single tall sock and moving on. It is a great learning experience and I shall keep this as a sample sock. And by the grace of god my next attempt shall yield an actual pair!!
Happy Knitting!

Awwwwwww 😦 you could always order another skein and have awesome stripy knee socks?
Its a discontinued knit picks colorway and I couldn’t find anyone on Ravelry with the right dye lot. I’m just going to take my lumps and knit on 🙂
Oh noes! No different-colored cuffs?
Yeah, that sounds like a good option – would you have enough to do 2 stripey feet with coordinating solid cuffs?
Probably not, I used more than half the skein to get just past the heel. Drat my long toes and feet!
Aww 😦 that stinks
I have a couple of these life lessons my self. They are very pretty…the good thing is I’m pretty sure neither of us will forget the lesson.
If only we had a one legged friend….
🙂
Oh well! Knit another tall sock in a coordinating colorway and say they are intentionally mis-matching! They look incredibly by the way! I’ve never mastered the art of toe-up socks (which makes running out of yarn that much more catastrophic!)
