Don’t panic. Yes, I ripped out the heel all the way from about half of the decreases. It was coming out crooked and uneven and funny-looking. But it was part of a class and I had assistance from Jesse the instructor, so I wasn’t afraid. I re-turned (is that a word?) the heel, got through the confusing part of starting the decreases on the magic loop, and am well on my way again. I’m at about the same point on the second sock, so I think I should knit up to the decreases on that sock, too. Hopefully going through it the second time and making notes was enough for me to remember how to do it. I wouldn’t normally knit two socks at the same time, but I had an extra size 3 from the KnitPicks manufacturing defect. The cable hasn’t fallen out yet, so even though it’s not particularly smooth, I’m still using it.

I really thought I was going to be able to post a finished second sock to complete my pretty purple peds, but we had some words over the short row heel and are currently not on speaking terms. In due time. I *really* thought that was going to be my very first completed pair.
