I'm a Taurus. Determined. Stubborn. Bullish.
The doomed entrelac sock met the ball winder on Monday and was reclaimed. Tuesday was cast-on day for ASA#4 take #2. I took Spinnity's advice and made the rectangles smaller, plus went down 0.25mm in needle size.
The sock put up a good defense.
But I redoubled my efforts and with repeated combinations of lunge-parry, disarmed the sock and completed the heel.
Eventually the sock was beat into submission.
Take that Entrelac!

Awesome!
I just finished K's sweater and the neckline is too big and the sleeves are way too baggy and need to be redone. I can't bear to think about having to undo everything... but I'm gonna have to. Boo.
