Simply Ribbeting

Some projects are never meant to be finished.  I am convinced that the socks I knit for Nate fall into this category.  He is home.  He loves the rainbow socks - they fit him well.  Unfortunately the 3 colour Koigu socks which are stranded, as I mentioned earlier, do not fit him..........not even close.  I guess I should have known this.  After all, they really didn't fit me either!!!

So now the question is to rip, or not to rip.  If I don't rip, I have to find someone with really small feet.  Nathan really does like these socks however, so I guess I will have to rip them.  Oh well, like Belinda has often reminded me, this means more knitting for my buck!!!  I will have to increase the number of stitches from 78 (which was already adjusted) to about 86.  Yikes - these will take forever.  I wish Bel was here to help me rip like she did the last time.  Think I'll start later today though - I still have some knitting to finish on the  2nd sock of the Fibre Artist socks.

I'm also dreaming about another colour-way for my linen sweater.  Here is a picture of it, which has been posted by me before, but on another weblog which is now defunct.   The matching camisole is something that I might not make again - have to see because it really increases the amount of yarn needed.   Anyway, the new colour-way is in blues, greens and purples (maybe a touch of pink).  I actually saw these colours in the Louet yarn, but I'm not certain that I want to make the sweater identically.  Have to dream about it some more, I guess.

That's about it for now.....later.
