Close, but No Sock

This doesn't look good.

This is the second sock, the first is gorgeous and fits perfectly.

 

I hope I can rely on the kindness of friends. I know someone who is making a cardigan out of this exact same yarn. I'm going to be all like "Buddy, can you spare a square?" (That's not exactly a mixed metaphor, but it certainly is mixed up.) Otherwise, I may have to go buy more yarn. Money is no object when the socks are this beautiful.

Details are on my Ravelry page. The pattern is a free one and very well written. I think the reason I ran out of yarn is because I made the men's size sock, with a bit larger leg by using a bigger sized needle so it would have more stretch, with a long leg and whopping 10 inches or so in the foot. The wonder is that I didn't run out of yarn sooner!

  1. Pretty pattern. That yarn looks like the wisteria colorway. There are people on ravelry with partial skeins. Maybe you can inveigle some from one of them.
