The leg is inching upward—but still has a ways to go.
The top edge is still very biased—as
can be seen on both LEGS and on the sock blocker
The image below and to the left shows the lop sided
progress—The gauge is about parallel with the stitches before I
started the leg portion of the sock—and as you see, about 1 inch of
knitting has been added to the back of the leg—but almost 4 inches
have been added to the center front of the sock!
What is less evident (the bias stitches
hide it to some degree—is the stitch count went from 164 to 64—100
stitches decreased--in the same 4 inches. That is the work of a whole
bunch of short rows!
I wish I could say I was out of sock
yarn (or running out soon) and would just have to live with socks
that were taller in back than in front—but I have lots of yarn
left—and lots of knitting to do too.
I like the fit—I like how the bias
fabric hugs my arch and the back of my heel, (yes, I know its loose
and baggy looking on LEGS—but my feet and legs are bigger) and I
even sort of like the V wedge in front—and I like how there is no
pooling of colors--not anywhere! A pretty interesting thing—especial
since the number of stitches in the wedge, or round are changing all
the time.
Now they are almost finished—and that
what I want most—to be done. Maybe tonight—I know I am going to
try!
