Little Sock That Could™

I try very hard not to make promises I can’t keep. It is one of the quirky things about me which drives the children absolutely freaking insane.

The Princess: Can we go to the mall this weekend and buy jeans?

CursingMama: Maybe, we’ll have to see.

The Princess: Why Not!?!

CursingMama: I don’t make promises I can’t keep. We’ll have to wait and see what the weekend brings. I might have time, I might not.

Never Forget – I am totally unreasonable.

Because I alluded to the possibility of a discussion of the Little Sock That Could™ today I am feeling fairly confident that it wasn’t a promise – but only a suggestion,

a “Maybe, we’ll have to see”

I believe we can see…….
I have, in fact, completed the knitting on the very first Little Sock That Could™.











As modeled by the very relieved owner, The Princess











I’m pretty happy with how it turned out, the striping looks good, the colors scream Princess, the knitting itself is really consistent and there are only a few minor issues. Issues that I know about, and since this is apparently “Full Disclosure Week” you are also going to be made aware of.










I have decided it qualifies as “good enough” considering it is the first sock I have ever knit. So I’m ignoring the issues and moving on to the second sock.

I do not plan on repeating these issues on the second sock – but you know what they say about the best laid plans. (For the record I have finished knitting all of the ribbing on the second sock and am preparing for heel flapping during Greys Anatomy tonight)

Bravo!! A sock fit for a Princess indeed. All she needs now is a glass slipper.

Pretty easy to pick up the toe stitches and graft it shorter. Or even (gasp/horrors) throw it on the sewing machine and shorter it that way (inside out of course)
