Crone Wisdom

Monday morning musings.

I have determined

that I should knit sock heels

with a needle one size smaller

than the one I have used

for the cuff  or will use

for the foot and toe.

Also, I will use the smaller needle

for the first round of stitches

on the instep gusset. Nice join.

At some point one has to bow

to the inevitable and advance

stitches from needle to needle

to avoid ladders where the needle

meet.

I have succumbed.

One should not plan

huge complicated projects

on Monday mornings on the cusp

of a thirteen hundred mile journey.

But, but I really want to knit

that skating skirt at seven stitches

to the inch.

How wise could one be on

Monday mornings?
