kitchener fail

[geeksdoitbetter]

i had the oddest kitchener fail last week

was working the toe of the latest sock

and, it was as if i was stitching together two pieces of garter stitch, rather than making a join with two bits of stockinette

i wove back, started over, checking my stitch count, made sure i was beginning the same as always (front purl off)

and, still

garter ridges appeared across the toe

wacky

anyone else?

(i'll get a close up pic later tonight)

I haven't had this happen recently, but it has happened to me before. I fixed it by turning the sock inside out (still on the needles) and doing the grafting again. I still got the ridges, but they were on the inside of the sock that time and the outside was as it should be.

that makes sense

i'd stared at it for a full 5 minutes, trying to remember if every other time i'd turned the socks inside out before and had just forgotten this time
