Imminent Sock Repair


 Happy Valentines Day! I half-heartedly (pun intended) tried to knit all of my friends some Little Hearts, but alas, only two are half finished. I definitely have more friends, so that idea will be on hold for another year. 

Inspired by the Yarn Harlot’s 2024 resolution to knit 10 rows on two socks every day, I decided that maybe I’ll try the idea on a few socks that need repair. The striped ones need about 14 rows reknit where the washing machine chewed the top, and the purple ones have about 25 rows with decreases to repair a hole in the toe. 

It also turns out that my stash contains 9 brilliant skeins of sock yarn. If the Yarn Harlot can finish a pair of socks in 22 days with the aforementioned method, maybe I’ve found a way to become a sock knitter after all.
