I had to frog it. I hate frogging knitting. It's extremely stressful for me to have all those little loose loops just hanging out, needing to be picked but then before I get the chance to they slip away from me. I was loving this sock, and the pattern, and how the striping yarn was knitting up with the pattern. Enchanting. Then this morning I got the brilliant idea to make sure it fits. After I'm about 2 inches into the pattern. The ribbing was fine but for some reason the pattern was knitting up soo tight with hardly any stretch there was no chance in hell it was going over my hand, let alone my foot. I don't understand. So I snapped a photo and ripped back to the ribbing, only loosing one stitch in the process, I think...
I guess I'll have to increase around to make the larger size, and if that's still too small then I'll have to go up a needle size as well. I just don't understand why it's creating such a tight unyielding fabric. I'll be knitting at lunch time today for sure.
