So earlier this week I managed to measure and start to insert needles so I could cut in afterthought cuffs on my Dark Side Vanilla socks. Well yesterday was my birthday and I had a glass or two of some very fine Rose with my dinner. And somehow it seemed like a great idea to then cut my knitting.
I might have made a small miscalculation when deciding the exact middle of my socks. One sock is noticeably shorter than the other. Like by four or five rows. I think my plan is to just add the extra needed rows in cuff portion so that the overall sock length is the same between the two.
One idiosyncrasy I noticed is that the black stripes mostly line up but the color stripes are not even close. Probably because of the way I knit toes from the opposite ends of the stripe sequence. I am the boss of my knitting and I have decided I like all of the above because its quirky like me!
Happy Knitting!!
Oh heck, that’s nothing! I have socks that are a lot more mis-matched than that! These will be fantastic however they end up. 🙂
Love it
Yeah the sequences of the stripes do not match because they on the opposite direction (as in one sock is upside down)… not that it matters, they’re nice anyway 🙂
Lol, maybe I should have kept quiet 😉
I think they look good! Just going a little longer on the ribbing as you plan should take care of it.
