Naughty Green Socks

From the cast on edge and all the way down the leg to the beginning of the heel flap, the Naughty Green Socks have 3,864 stitches*. Each.Maybe I didn't need to know that.

______
*I had the numbers wrong - they actually have 4,416 stitches. EACH.

    Would that be per sock or per pair? ( Actually, I probably already know the weary answer to that!)

    Yikes. I guess us sock knitters are gluttons for punishment, lol.

    So, in the middle of the night do you wake up with a brain worm saying, " 3,173 . . . 3,174 . . . 3,175 . . . "

    Ok, step away from the calculator. Now get some wine... There you go. Isn't that better?

    There are lovely though. Counting stitches has not helped me with my last two projects. I just get discouraged!

    Jumpin' Jupiter, Jane...don't you know, we're supposed to count rounds, not stitches?!

    Exactly what I was told when I counted the stitches in a pair of socks last fall.

    Didn't help, until I discovered 6-ply sock yarn!

    That sure is an interesting fact ;-) Like the greens and stripes!

    That's enough to scare me off doing socks for a while...

    So glad you told me - I then have many cozy stitches to knit in each pair of socks I knit:-)
