Sock of Doom!

I figured I would post my latest work in progress. I was knitting away in my usual knitting trance (yeah, I know, "Knitting is my Yoga"), when I realized that the arch of the sock was way bulky and weird looking. Upon putting some actual concentrated thought into it, I realized that I forgot to take account of the heel stitches on one of the needles before pulling up my gusset stitches. I had added five extra stitches to each side (gusset) needle and it was making the arch of the sock too bulky. Frog time (I love that word!) . Now, usually when I frog, I end up battling with dropped stitches, get frustrated, and end up tearing out the entire sock and starting over. This time, however, I somehow was able to get the stitches back on their respective needles and was able to remake the heel the way it was supposed to be. Even though I lost an entire day of knitting, I was victorious and felt triumphant!

Here is my sock after my heel crisis.
