I cast on with it eagerly. The pattern for April confused me. The yarn was there to soothe me with its beauty. I pressed forward with the pattern, though the 90 billion twisted knits hurt my hands. I watched the colors twirl 'round. When the socks were finally completed, I breathed a sigh of relief for my hands. Honestly, I love the look of twisted stitches popping out of a sock pattern, but ouch!
Then, when I put the socks on... well. They slouched. It probably would have worked out if I had done the short row heel in the pattern, but I didn't. The reverse-flap heel I did makes the top of the sock noticeably longer than the bottom, creating a slouch where instep meets leg. And, well, I just can't settle for anything but perfection with this yarn.
You know what I mean. This yarn *deserves* to be a better sock. Which I'll get on whenever I get around to it.
even maeby's sad.
