My lesson for today: Never, ever try a new technique without watching the YouTube video first. I'm knitting a pair of port and starboard socks for a friend. Started one on small circs, then thought, this would be a great project to try two at a time. Knitted up sock two to match, and figured I'd just knit them on to one long circ. Yeah right. Off to watch the video now ...
In Scotland we call this a fankle

That's a fabulous word 😆
Sorry about the tangle. Second time's the charm!

Or in my case, fourth time is a charm! It took me that long to figure out that knitting the socks on to the long circular was never going to work. I had to MOVE the second needle stitches on to the second needle. I used to knit magic loop socks all the time, I think some old muscle memory finally clicked in.
(Scots does have all the best words. I've been glaikit tonight for sure, a real daftie.)
