48 stitches

Urgh, I dropped a stitch at around the halfwaypoint

I wanted to cut these in half and make a pair of socks. I don’t mind a difference in colour / striping (sisters not twins!), but these don’t even look like cousins…

Going to knit up the other half of the ball.

The other half of the tubes became these armwarmers

These need a do-over wink

I redid the heel in one sock three times already, but it still feels too tight on the instep. On the other sock it feels borderline too tight, but do-able.

I want to frog them back to the toe and add 8 stitches (at least) to make them fit better. They have the length to compensate for the extra stitches, without becoming too short.
