so. almost done with the heel turn of the second sock (meaning just another hour at most of knitting left) and just realized that i knit the second sock with one stitch more per needle than i did the first. last pair of socks was 14 stitches per needle, this pair was supposed to be 13. the gauge is 7 stitches per inch (3 stitches per cm) so this is an extra half inch larger in circumference.

#was wondering why the heel turn numbers seemed a little off #but i was only working on this at work and its a lot more acceptable to be knitting than to be on my phone #so i never ended up checking my notes bc i kept forgetting to during breaks #also was not confident that i had actually taken any notes to begin with #or where i had put them if indeed they existed at all #im just gonna keep knitting it. id rather risk the last hour of knitting ending up with a still wearable pair of socks #because 8 more hours of work is just as annoying as 9 more hours of work #im also wondering if i can do some sewing to bunch up the top a little or maybe a crocheted cable #if that ends up drawing the sock in. will probably experiment #im not actually worried it wont fit me (i knit socks for myself with a lot of negative ease)#but im extremely sensitive to pressure on my feet and the lack of it from socks is very uncomfortable #so if one sock is looser than the other i will start to lose it #(like in the Fork Theory ? uneven socks is a hundred forks. my tolerance for anything else unpleasant becomes zero #so ! it might not be perceptible (these both have ribbing and that may distract from the size significantly #we will see.#always something these days.#i will admit most of those somethings are caused by my brains inability to hold a stable memory #everything is all blended together and i cannot remember when anything happened or the context of it #i wonder somewhat if its gabapentin symptoms. i was doing fine for a while but ive been taking more than the usual dose #to try and combat symptoms but like good god i feel like my brain has been stuffed full of wool #not even in a fun way #eesh. anyway i will continue to knit this sock i suppose #knitting #sock knitting #woes
