This may not be a surprise to anyone else, but I personally have just realised that I am stupid
#so i’m making these socks right because i want to practice doing cables and there are not that many cables on the sock#first off this was kind of a dumb decision considering i don’t have a cable needle. i mean i have one Somewhere but idk where it is#and it’s way too thick to use with 2.5mm needles and sock yarn anyway#i’ve been using a tapestry needle and kind of getting by. i mean i only have to do four cables on 2 rows out of every 8#the really stupid part is i have to stick rigidly to this chart right? only doing cables throws off my ability to count my rows#so i’ve been using a stitch marker to help me. but then i have to keep moving the stitch marker around so that it’s not right below a cable#because if there’s a cable above it; i can no longer 100% tell what i’ve done#guys. i’ve just realised after a whole ass repeat that i can put the stitch marker on the OTHER SIDE#on the sole of the foot in other words. where it’s just straight stockinette stitch all the way up#when i’m done with a whole repeat of the chart i’ll just move it up; mark a chart repeat and continue#there’s no risk of me mixing up the instep and sole because they look totally different. i’m stuuuupid#well anyway. other than that the sock’s going really well. i was nervous because i haven’t done toe-up in a really long time#i prefer cuff-down because i find german twisted cast on way easier than trying to do a stretchy bind off. but i guess we’ll get there#when we get there#personal
