My knitter’s gut instinct was kicking in with the second orange yellow sock. I knit and knit the ribbing but it grew so slow. Why is this taking so long? I kept wondering. There was something not right. But I couldn’t figure it out so knit to the end.

When it came time for the bind off I couldn’t remember how to special technique I did on the last one. I had written it down in my Simple Socks book. As soon as I opened the book I realized what was wrong. I hadn’t switched up to a larger needle size. Halfway up the ribbing I normally switch up but for some reason it had slipped my mind.

I compared the two socks and knew what had to happen. How could I leave it intact? It would be too tight on my lower calves. I frogged 3 inches:

I’ve started knitting the ribbing again with the larger needles and it’s moving along at the pace I’m used to.
