I actually started editing the NaNo Empty today. There is more I need to write but going through bit by bit will help me see where parts of the untold story go.
Happy December!

Maybe.
You see these crazy fun socks were nearly to the heel part. I found a mistake. Tinking back.
A quick NaNoWriMo report. Empty now has 15,231 words. I should have 16,670. So back to the storyboard.
After months and so many tinks, nearly remaking these several times over, I finally finished my Sneaker Socks. These will bring back all the memories of the wedding and Wisconsin. I brought these and the hat I just finished a couple of days ago. The hat was helpful as it was easier and didn’t need the concentration these socks took. I constantly made mistakes and had to find my way back.
I didn’t think I’d like that ribbing in the foot area, but it feels like a foot hug. I love it! I may add that to future socks.
I know I’ve shared the tutorials before but these have helped me a lot!
I followed most of it. But the bind off was too hard for me. Instead I went with my fav, Jeny’s Surprisingly Stretchy Bind off. Even that had to be tinked and redone a couple of times.
I don’t have a pattern for the Afghan. Just the basic Tunisian Crochet stitch. It is getting boring, but I think it’ll be warm.
This is what I’m using for the socks.
Have a great weekend!
Those seem to be the highlights of the progress of the day. Except we’re nearly finished with all 15 seasons of ER. That should earn some prizes!🤣
Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “pick a number.” Choose a number—any number—and write about it any way you’d like. Have fun!
For the umpteenth time I’m ripping out the heel of this sock. This is a frustrating part of learning something new. I’ve not enjoyed needle knitted wrap and turns. ADD claims me and I lose my place. A LOT.
That was why I found the Fleegle Heel so helpful. It’s kind of funny, I enjoyed wrap and turns on the loom. But it was easy to see where I left off, most of the time.
This new method is a variation of the wrap and turn. It’s a Shadow Wrap. It does look nicer, almost disappearing into the fabric.
I’m looking forward to trying Fishlip socks. But I have to finish my No See Sneaker Socks first.
There’s a reason this is where my stream took me , for the umpteenth time. I’ll get it yet!🤪😂🤣
I’ve made very little progress on the afghan. But I finally got ONE no show Sneaker socks finished. TaDa!!!
Starting with cast on. I over did the Turkish cast-on. The toe ended squarish.
The arch needed a few more rows of ribbing.
The heel part has been tinked so many times I was worried the yarn was splitting. Right now I’m retinking the second sock. Here’s why:
The pattern confused me. The YouTube wasn’t clear enough. And it was confusing.
I finally got the shadow wrap. But the next part made me separate the socks. No more Two At A Time. But I only have one long ChiaoGoo Red-lace Circular Needle in size 1. So I put one sock on DPNs. I could fold them up and keep the sock from fraying or straying.
That left one sock on the ChiaoGoos. That made the rest a little easier to understand. I’m still not sure I understand the shaping of the upper heel but it fits nicely.
The ribbing at the top of the sock was short and easy. But the cast offs the YouTube suggests makes no sense so I used my favorite one.
Here are the YouTube tutorials.
The worst part is our Internet isn’t working properly. So watching anything streaming, even on my phone is painful. I had to miss my friends on Zoom today because of it. Ugh! They say it’ll be fixed by Sunday. I’m not holding my breath! Out here in the Oregon Outback it is a desert of everything.
Oh, well, back to tinking.
