cathyw"People just delude themselves.... But maybe it could work for us."
...in the context of knitting, this usually means "I have made some terrible, project-wrecking error that I am going to just knit through instead of ripping back to fix."
in the case of my current socks: I put four extra rows in the heel flap. Unless I've been entirely wrong about how my socks fit for the past several years, this will result in the socks... not fitting. I noticed it after doing the heel turn and picking up the stitches along the edge, because there were too many stitches.
"It'll be fine."
It won't be fine and I know it won't be fine. With socks, I can't even tell myself "oh, that'll even out when I block it." And yet I am resistant to the idea of ripping out and redoing an hour's work.
Someone poke me with the reality stick, because me poking myself with it isn't working.
