As you know, I’m under the gun to finish the Burlington sock. While this project started because I was commuting several hours, three days a week, in the last two years, I’ve slowly weaned myself off the office, and hardly go in at all any more.
But, last Thursday I had to go in to pick up a new work laptop. So I figured it was a good time to make some headway on the second sock.
It started off well enough. I got through the ribbing and the first pattern by one station before my final stop. I was admiring it before starting the next pattern, when I noticed something.
I’d completely forgotten the purl ridge between the ribbing and the pattern. (In my defense, I’d gotten up at 5:30 a.m., and been groggily traveling for two hours already.
If the sock had been just for me, and not for pattern photos, I’d have just carried on. Instead, I heaved a big sigh, got off the train at Long Branch, and sat down to await the shuttle that would take me the final few kilometres to the office. It was a half and hour wait, so I figured I might as well start ripping.
By the time the shuttle arrived, everything was back on the needles, and I was back on track. By the time I got to the office, I was almost back to where I stopped and ripped.
Thankfully, the trip home was uneventful, and I had the next pattern complete by the time I got home.
I’m aiming to finish these up by the weekend, so look for an FO post sometime after. Then I have to get my photographer booked before it gets to cold to play in socks outside!
Oh, gee….glad to see it’s back on track but oh, gee….

Well, ripping is not fun, but at least you got past the error and are making progress again.

WOW! You really save a lot of time by not going to the office daily. Getting really close to having your projects completed and ready for photographing. How exciting!
