Rip, reknit, rip, reknit. I got it perfect and then after feeling really pleased with myself I realised I had cast on all the stitches and not half to start off with. I toyed with finding someone with enormous ankles to give it to (or maybe making one of those mega socks you put both feet in) but in the end... rip, reknit. It looks like a great start for a hat, though! I spent hours working out how to do a tubular cast on for a sock once. Rip, reknit, rip, reknit.

I think it's just cantankerous yarn. If the sock has a lot of cabling, it has a chance of being ok. Knit for another inch or too and call it chance at having a whole lot of bang for your knitting buck if you have to frog it anyway? is that the yarn that was so tightly wound into a ball??

But then ... maybe not. The “tightening up” as you knit more sounds plausible …

As for the knitting, hmm. You could try knitting few more rows to see if it tightens up and sort of comes together (I find the first few rows of my socks always seem big but tighten up as I knit more), but I'm guessing you will need to frog. Painful as it is, it will be better in the long run. Congrats on the condo and the car!

Well done! That’s what I always do when the depression gets too deep–go buy a condo and a car.
