[SIZE=ā7ā]He passed!!![/SIZE]
Hurray! Iām so pleased for you all.
Hurray!! Hurray!! Hurray!!!
Three cheers for not so grumpy anymore bear! 
Thanks, everyone. He starts job hunting tomorrow. Heāll have a job before the end of the week, no problem. Heās going to takes something local, probably in the gas and oil industry thatās booming here right now, while he looks for a good, over the road job. The mood here has been a lot better.
Iām still struggling with the wonky stitches on my top down socks, and getting a pair of toe up socks started. I thought I had a good start on a pair, but realized after a few rounds Iād switched from stockinette stitch to reverse stockinette stitch. Sigh. :knitting: 
:knitting:
Wow, itās quiet :pout: :waah:
I think you said youāve got a problem with your toe-ups. Whatās wrong?
Everything 
The first time, I started out good, then somehow switched to reverse stockinette stitch. The second and third times, I kept splitting the yarn, and ended up dropping stitches trying to fix it. I havenāt tried again yet, I got really frustrated with it.
Iām getting 6 stitches to the inch with the sport weight yarn, and I was trying to use size 1 needles, and it seemed casting on 24 stitches was way to few. Iām probably wrong about thatā¦ trust the pattern, right??
Which toe are you doing?
Itās warm today. Lovely. We got to 72 deg. Heatās off!!! Windows are open.
ETA Depending on how youāre doing the toe, 24 sts would be about right. I started with 28, 14 on each needle for the pair Iām doing now. Iām using fingering weight yarn and size 0 needles. I ended up increasing to 60 sts total, 30 on each needle. If youāre doing that short row toe with the provisional cast on, then youād need to do more increases after itās joined. At least thatās what I think. With sock yarn and I think size 1 needles I did 52 sts total on each sock.
I was trying the 3rd one on this page you linked to a couple days ago. I was planning on using my size 2 needles but I only have 4 of them, and I had 5 size 1ās. Are most socks done on 5 needles? I gave up on the short row toe, Iāve done wrap and turn, but never had to pick up the wraps. Iāll try it again someday Iām sure. I figured out the chain crochet provisional cast on, but the toe itself has me :hair:
72Ā°?? :hmm: 50Ā° and thunderstorms here. I love the thunderstorms though.

Iād use a different short row method, I donāt like w&t. However, if youāre not familiar with other methods and youāre already frustrated, thatās too much. I donāt know how many needles would typically be used in a sock. I think when I used DPNs for the top of the sock I used 4 but I wasnāt following a pattern.
Unless youāre a really loose knitter I think size 1 is too small for sport weight. It would be tighter than I like, that much I know. I think I was using 1ās and changed up to 2ās on my Hollyberry sox.
I like thunderstorms too. Iād rather sunshine today. I needed a really nice day.
I couldnāt figure out how to keep the needles straight using only 4. I guess come payday Iāll pick up another set of size 2 and 3 DPNās. Iām gonna watch those videos after grumpy (again) bear goes to sleep. Thanks for the link. Iāll get there. I just frogged my top down sock ( we wonāt talk about how I only had about 3 more inches and the toe to go). I think Iām gonna make a dish cloth.
GG, look!! Itās a toe!! LOL
Nice toe Janis!
Thanks, Claire!
By gum, it IS a nicely done toe! On three needles! 
And now we await the ānicely turnedā ankle
