How quickly one forgets...

It's been awhile since I've done a sock cuff down. Since last summer, I've been obsessed with toe-up socks. So, for some reason, I decided to do my Sockapal2za sock cuff down. Been awhile, but I made quite a few before I went over to the dark side. So, I was happily knitting along. It was about 11pm, but I wasn't tired. I was watching watching the Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou, which is a very bizarre movie, but one that didn't require a lot of concentration, so I was able to follow the yarn-over cable pattern. I moved onto the heel flap...did about 10 rows of the heel flap and then took a minute to look at the heel. Something was wrong. It looked really funny... I looked at my heel flap...thought long and hard...looked at the heel flap...consulted the directions (which I should have done in the first place instead of assuming I "remembered" how to do it). Yes, for some odd reason, maybe the lateness of the hour, maybe watching Bill Murray on his quest for the jaquar shark, but I had been slipping my stitches with the yarn on the wrong side. Oops... Needless to say I had to put it aside for the evening. I spent the first hour of Knitting with the Posse tinking my heel flap back and then redoing it. Ugghhh...

Moral of the story - Read Direction!
