I run out of yarn just about 18 lines before the end of the sock.
Options:
a) Put the socks somewhere far away and years from now frog them and use the yarn for something else
b) rip back both socks a little bit and incorporate stripes or toes of blue yarn into the sock. The blue yarn won’t show with most footware. This is the least work but the ugliest outcome.
c) rip back to a little bit above the ankle and decrease the size of the sock. This way the sock will fit me better anyway. It will be a lot of work but I have already put in a lot of time for these.
d) rip back to a little bit above ankle and switch to a smaller needle but keep the rest the same as before. It will be about the same amount of work as c) and probably the same outcome.
No, I cannot buy more yarn because this is hand painted specialty yarn and there does not seem to be any more in this colour for sale. In any case I will take a few days to work on something else and clear my mind.
otparaj drugu carapu samo do istog mjesta gdje je ova stala, onda pleti obje s nekom drugom vunom pomijesanom s ovom sve do vrha prstiju
Oh my goodness, that is SO frustrating! You were so close! I vote for the blue toes option, just because it’s the one with the highest chance of success. Boo to the yarn running out!
