I scrapped my first anklet because I just totally screwed up the gusset and decided to up the size. Forgot that I had been used to knitting size 8s for my mum and forgot my feet are bigger than hers, or at least wider. Almost done with the first one. Got the stereotypical gap on one side of the gusset! Freak a duck! But I think it was because I just wanted to get the damn thing done with, so I did 1" of the leg, the heal, heal flap, gusset, and about an inch of the foot in one sitting. Not a wise thing.
Gotta go back to this place a couple blocks away. It's like a small diner in front where all the old farts go to socialize but a strange place to get knitting stuff and some other things. There is a green wool yarn I saw there the last time I was in there and really am thinking I need to go back. I mean for $2-$4 per skein, hell it's cheap. Maybe I can find a yarn winder there. Just have to look through everything. It's like going to Goodwill and finding a gold mine worth of stuff. Does that sound right?
