Measuring Up?

My dad is a woodworking genius. He used to joke, "I cut it twice and it's still too short!" and, "Measure once, cut twice." I think it was his humorous way to help me remember that measuring carefully was a way to avoid having to re-work or re-make something. I should have paid more attention.

Two days ago I finished my grandson's first short-row heel sock and was SO PLEASED with how it turned out...until this morning when I tried it on his foot. It was too small.

In an effort to be optimistic about having to rip out all that work, I have decided that it was an opportunity to practice picking up stitches. Ahem.

Here we go again!
