Ribbit ribbit

I feel like my knitting throughout the entire month has been an entire waste at the moment. Last week I had to frog my Nunt's Cabled Wristwarmers because I had severely messed up the cables (I was knitting inside out, and it's hard to see what you're doing when you do that. I didn't know that it was possible to knit in the round right-side-out! lol)

Then a few days ago I came to the realization that the lovely chevalier socks, for which I had just finished the heel flap on, were never going to fit me (I could barely squeeze them past my heel, and that will only get worse once the foot of the sock is built into it!) I debated whether or not to keep going and find someone to give them to, but I really wanted to have these for myself, so I finally frogged it yesterday, and went back to working on the wristwarmers now that I've had a break from them and felt brave enough to start them again. The part that really frosts me with the socks though, is that I was knitting the MEN'S SIZE!!! Where the hell are the men whose heel-top of foot distance is significantly smaller than mine? I mean I have size 8 women's feet, for crying out loud!!! Yes they're wider than most women's but my feet fit perfectly into size 6 men's shoes when I do find them. *grumble grumble* At least I know that the upsizing should be fairly simple, just adding another 4 ribbed rows to the back side should do it. We'll cross the foot width bridge when we come to it, it seems!
