Yes, it was entirely my own fault
Yes, I had left it lying in plain view of two playful, inquistive balls of fluff, but still, it didn't stop me being a little less than pleased to come home and find this:
Attempts
at painful sock reconstruction were unsuccesful and despite some
marathon knitting I didn't complete the project in time. I can still
continue with the Tour in other stages but to be honest this one rather
knocked the stuffing out of me and although I have attempted the 3rd
Stage - with Roll the Bones - my heart wasn't in it. And my tension was way too tight - I wonder why!
They are lovely socks though and I will definitely return to them at a later date.
For now, I did the only sensible thing and cast on for some plain vanilla socks in delicious, good-enough-to-eat yarn from Desert Vista Dyeworks - the latest offering from the Golden Skein. The colours remind me of blackberry crumble and custard - just as soothing as a vanilla sock when one is in need of comfort.
