Colorwork Socks—Tinking

(Also known as ‘tinking’.)
Unknitting each stitch to get back to my mistake.

Last night I decided to finish my ‘round’ (really the second halves of two socks) even though it was late. I wanted to have less than ten rounds of colorwork to go.

Hubris. I was tired and didn’t count properly and missed two stitches of the Opal (the lighter color). So this morning I’m ‘tinking’ (tink is knit backward) to my mistake point to fix it. I could have done duplicate stitch afterwards, but that wouldn’t feel the same to me. But un-floating all of these floats is a very good motivator to be more careful & alert from now on!

Fiber carefully, or share my fate! 🧟‍♀️

I knit, spin, machine knit, dye fiber, transform it in all sorts of ways. I’m also transitioning. Sometimes I may get political, because the personal is political. 😏
