Baudelaire Finished

Now to find someone with a size 81/2 foot and skinny ankles. So I thought that knitting a toe up sock would be an more accurate way of getting a sock to fit. That theory works only if you enjoy knitting and ripping and knitting and ripping the heels. This will be in all probability the last pair ot toe up socks that I knit. Toes take much less time to reknit if the sock is too long.
I'd show you a picture but Blogger has decided that you don't need to see the socks to understand my frustration with all things backwards.
This whole backwards knitting issue may be why I am hating my top down cardigan. On the third go round, I finally got most of the sweater done. I am now on my third attempt with the collar and I am preparing to rip it out again.
I am a Lace knitter! Why can I not knit a stupid simple basic cardigan? I Hate It! Deep breaths...Be Calm.....Step away from the pointy needles....
