I’ve Finished!!! (sort of)
Last night I knit the last row of Bayerische sock number one. However, the toe is a bit too small and tight, so I will be ripping it out later today and adding some additional plain rounds. I admit, you, you and the blogless others at KTog on Tuesday night were correct; I had enough yarn to finish the sock. However, this is my remaining yarn. I can admit that I was extra nervous at the end – it’s a super tiny ball of yarn!
I’m thinking that I should be able to rip back and add a few plain rounds before I start the decreases. I had to start the toe before the pattern called for, I knew I would not have enough yarn to continue in pattern until 1.5 inches remained. Because I knew the toe had to be longer, I added additional plain knit rows between decreases. Obviously, I did not add enough rows.

well I’m glad that you have enough yarn to make the sock big enough, and glad that you don’t have to rip out any patterned rows because clearly that would be horrific

Yikes, hopefully you didn’t graft the toe before you found it was tight.
The pattern really does eat up yarn. I was thinking of doing 4 repeats on the leg because I have 550 yards of yarn, but my feet are bigger than yours so I am going to start the heel flap after I do the next 2 rounds.
