I am persevering with my glitchy beanie. For no good reason other than I wanted to use up the yarn, I knit the hat until I had a a yard or so left. I am going to split the hat on two needles and just kitchener closed.
This photo creatively hides the oops/glitch from you. I’ll show you it after I have the hat finished. For now I am catching up on my Knitgirllls podcast episodes while I work on the finishing. All I am missing is a good cup of coffee.
Happy Knitting!!

I ripped back my heel (very tedious and frustrating) and inhaled deeply. Then I went to YouTube for a refresher course in Kitchener. I finally managed to get this:
Not the best but not too shabby!
I’ve got one complete sock and one to go! I’m not sure how I like the fit versus the gusset style heel I’ve knit before. I’ll want to take the pair out for a spin before I decide.
What’s your favorite sock fit?
