Yarn Along: Rip It!

{Yarning Along with Ginny}

Laundry so didn't make it to completion Monday- groceries seemed so much more important that day. Yesterday ended up being the true "catch up" day. Unpacking all the way, laundry, putting everything away and getting back to a more normal routine with the kids was the name of the game.


I ended up taking the purple socks with me to finish up and the grey and coral Regia for another pair of socks. Sadly, I discovered a pretty serious dropped stitch situation just before the heel flap on the second purple sock. I spent a good hour trying to recover it without ripping back, even past the point where it became obvious that I should give up and rip back.

So I finally did.

It took most of the trip to get back to where I was before the great rip-back of 2013... about an inch from starting toe decreases. I'm happy to say that the toe decreases are now begun and I just need an hour or so to finish them and graft the toe.


I did start the first of the Regia socks as well in a moment of needing to not look at the purple sock of fail. It has a few successful inches on it, but nothing fun to show.


I also took along Game of Thrones by George R.R. Martin on the kindle to read. It's been long on Brian's giant list of science fiction and fantasy I should read so when I saw it available through our library on the kindle I grabbed it. I'm through the first few chapters so far and enjoying it. It's a different pace than the books I've read lately so it took me a bit to get into it, but it is really good so far.
