I was bumbling along doing pretty well but on Thursday evening I picked up the project and accidentally managed to pull off stitches from both ends of the circular needle.
As you will all know - undoing and re-doing things never phases my wonderful BC3 so I thought that would be easy to resolve.
NO WAY. I was halfway through doing the heel and there were wrapped and unwrapped and slipped stitches all over the place and some of the unravelling had gone down a few rows so the only way forward was to go backward. I unravelled back to before the heel and have now started knitting it again. Well almost on this picture!!!

I hate when that happens! I haven't done socks on circular needles yet. I've always used double pointed needles. Maybe I would drop fewer stitches with the circulars!
Oh gosh, yes, not a good place in the process to drop stitches! Still, it's a set back but not a failure.
Oops!! Been there, done that, got t-shirt!! I pulled a pair out the other day because I'd done too few rows before the heel turn!! I feel your pain! You'll soon be back to where you were tho.....
I don’t think whatever sort of needles you use, Diane, it will ever stop an idiot like me picking them up ‘in the wrong way’ and causing a minor disaster!!
Absolutely, Jane, McLellan. It’ll never stop me from finishing them!!!
Can I tell you that I’ve got the copyright on that t-shirt, Pigmini!!!!!
I try to look at it as extra finger exercise. My fingers get lot of exercise at times.
I like that philosophy, Marthanne!!!
Aaaahhhhh that's too bad! But you did better than my project! I had to rippit to the beginning and start over and never finished!!!!
I hear you . I went back on second sock to heal after that happened. I was at toe and had needles slip off. 😪
