Bah, bah and again...bah! I got to turning the heel again last night. Guess what? I screwed up. Big time. You're supposed to end up with the same amount of stitches a you started with, I managed to cut them in half, give or take. Don't ask me how, I haven't a clue. Needless to say, I frogged the whole damn thing. Again. I'm giving up on socks for a while. That just depressed me too much to want to try again right now. Fiddlesticks!

You're picking up stitches because you're not slipping the entire stitch off the left needle when you've done a knit-stitch. So basically you're going through the same stitch twice. Does that make any sense??? I know it's very hard to see with that yarn, so I don't blame you for the frustration lol

But I know that I am not doing that, as I said I am being very careful, that's why I am confused.

with a yarn like that, it can happen even with being careful. Heck, I've done it, and I'm not one to usually pick up stitches no matter the yarn.

The thing I am thinking might be happening is that the hairs of the yarn are getting wound around the needle and I am mistaking them for the main thread of the yarn but I don't know. I am 99% sure I am not drawing through the same stitch twice.

could also be, yes

I am looking forward to doing other things knitting-wise, I just wish I already knew how to do them. Haha.

What's that?

Heh.

But I have finished another crocheted scarf. I think I am going to make a matching hat and topless mittens to go with it.
