I mean, it&#8217;s fine. It&#8217;s fine! There were just two extra stitches on the heel. I temporarily considered ripping it all back and then I decided this is 2020 and that if the sock fits we do not toss things out for imperfection. And the short rows &#8230; I somehow decided to wrap about half the stitches the wrong way. Again, not a deal breaker; I just made picking up the wraps more challenging for myself. But as you can see, we&#8217;ve moved on. Now, as long as I remember to reorient the stitches to keep the heel centered when I start the toe decreases, we&#8217;re golden. (If none of that made sense the translation is: I messed up, I mostly fixed it, I may mess up again before we&#8217;re done.)<\/p>\n<p>I started <em>Bringing Down the Duke<\/em> by Evie Dunmore tonight. I&#8217;d picked it up to be my waiting for the election results read. Instead it&#8217;s waiting to see how a coup is overturned in my own country read. It is not yet distracting enough, but I&#8217;m hopeful. About the book and our republic. Mostly.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m still listening to Alexandra Petri&#8217;s <em>Nothing Is Wrong and Here Is Why<\/em> while I wash dishes at night. I tried to keep listening one night after the dishes were done and awoke a couple hours later many essays into the future.
