Yesterday, I forgot what day it was. I needed a pedicure and I wanted a manicure so I called. I thought it odd when I was told to come at a specific time. Usually, I get, “When do you think you’ll be here?’ When I walked in I was surprised at how busy it was. The greeter said, “Well, it’s always like this on Friday and Saturday.” I couldn’t believe it. I never go around the weekend for this reason. I even pulled out my phone to check the day. Yep. It was Friday. Just shoot me and bury me in the back yard. Boy. Wouldn’t that surprise the next owners.
I thought it was time for a plain pair of socks. As you can see, I didn’t make it. I didn’t even start out with a plain rib. And whereas the yarn is subdued, it isn’t plain either. This is Sockotta yarn which is nice for Summer. The leg is purposely loose. I used a smaller needle for the heel gusset and decreased an additional six stitches on the foot. It fits just the way I want it.
