The Nice Yarn Shop Owner suggested twisting the knit stitches in the ribbing to try to create a tighter sock, or perhaps crocheting in a bit of elastic afterward. Meanwhile, another knitter at yesterday's knitting group session repeated something I'd read on the Socknitters list -- Jawoll Color Superwash really does call for teensier needles.
In either case ... the sock is going to be frogged.
Which is fine. It frees up my size 4 circs so that I can turn this
into a pair of Knucks. (The Beloved felt that the yarn needed bunny ears.) The label says Inca Fiber Concept and gives washing instructions and a URL (www.incatops.com), but is mute on exact composition of yarn or yardage. (I'm guessing there's alpaca involved, but don't quote me on it.)
It would seem that I do more frogging than knitting ... but I assure you, the Mom's Sophisticated Scarf is coming along swimmingly. One more skein of yarn to go ...
