These socks were the ones that I found moths had eaten a couple of holes in.  I frogged until I got below the eaten holes, clipped out the bad yarn, reattached and started knitting again.  I also had a brain storm and decided to do upside down heels &#8212; the socks were toe-up but I put in a regular heel making no changes for doing them from bottom up so the thicker bit is under the heel.<\/p>\n<p>The yarn was a variegated in wild orange and blues. But, even as I began the second sock I noticed that the sock looked like I was making it from a different colorway.  It&#8217;s not.  I bought one skein, split it in half so I could have half for one sock and half for the other.   It&#8217;s all a matter of how the colors pooled.  Since I wasn&#8217;t using a pattern but knitting on the fly I did notice when I finished that one sock was a bit wider from the ankles up than the other so that might account for the difference in color pools.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, I&#8217;m glad to be done with this pair.  I&#8217;m wearing them now and they fit pretty well.  The bind off doesn&#8217;t pull in and it stretches a bit more than usual because every 10th stitch I did an extra knit of the stitch before binding off so give a looser binding. It does fit better.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, and those who read yesterday&#8217;s blog.  I did watch all the Super Bowl ads online and not one of them is memorable. I remember some of them were really funny as I watched them but right now I only remember that I watched them.  So, I guess nothing replaces my all time favorite &#8212; EDS&#8217;s Herding Cats.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today I sewed in the ends and finished a pair of UFO socks.
