I’m sure you’ve heard of the Hans Christian Anderson story The Princess and the Pea. A short recap of the story is that a bedraggled young woman must prove her royal heritage. She sleeps on top of twenty mattresses but has such a fitful night as she can feel a pea through the pile. Thus she must be royalty.
After (almost) finishing the textured socks, I discovered a purl bump right in the middle of the sole. I’m sure we can all relate to a pebble, no matter how small, in our shoe. And how irritating that can be when we walk.
This purl bump would be the equivalent to such a pebble.
Good thing I caught it before I finished the Kitchener stitch. I can just run that stitch down to the offending stitch and use a crochet hook to “knit” back up to the toe edge.
But what I can’t resolve as easily are the twisted stitches in the heel…which are just as noticeable and irritable as the purl bump!
Sigh….

I feel for you. For years now I’ve made “princess soles” on most of my socks — purling the sole so my foot is against knit stitches — after I made a pair the normal way and found having the purls inside the sock uncomfortable. So I’m a princess and the purl kind of girl, too!

Oh no! I wish I had a magic solution other than cutting the thread!

Not to worry, Chris. I have a less dramatic solution on my next post.

I hope the twisted stitches aren’t noticeable!

More felt than noticeable. But I fixed them.
