What I have learnt from my current sock knitting purgatory
I am not sure whom exactly am I writing this for, but I felt the need to document what I think I have learnt from knitting and unraveling the same sock project for aeons. Perhaps someone else would learn from my experiences, perhaps some knitting gods may point the right way, bottom line is I at least put something out there, not ravelry worthy, but it is something.
The main objective is straightforward: a pair of hand knitted socks. The catch is all the extra requirements I've piled on over time: 1 they should fit like gloves, 2 minimal creases, 3 full stockinette 4 Over-knee without garter. It was naive of me to think it simple.
Thought 1: Do the Stupid Gauge Test
Yes, some may deem it non-essential. But if you are knitting socks off measurement, especially if they are suppose to be fitted, extra especially if they are not ribbed, do the stupid gauge, and keep it till the project is done. This is one of the first insight I got back at the start, and it helped in numerous way.
Thought 2: Know Where to Measure
A lesson I learnt while testing the heel turn, where there was always a bit too much fabric under the heel. My measurement of the heel flap had been taken from ankle to the ground, and that was too long because the heel is round, go figure. There are a lot of nuance about where and how one takes their measure than what meets the eye.
Thought 3: Knees are Hell
There is a meme in sewing I heard in passing that sleeves are the worst. Turns out same goes with other joints. Heel turn always have small issues with crease and fit, nothing a bit of short row cannot fix, but the knees are different beasts. They pull and they crease and there are not much resource about knitting over-knee. my current running theory is they need increases not at the back but from the side at the edge of the leg fold, the increase on the two sides are different, and there are some short row wizardry involved. I want to say I have cracked it, but I had thought that countless time before. I will have to try it out to see if it work, or just double down and just have a sock ends at upper calf (Still a win).
I might have spend six months to learn that hand knitted over-knee socks should be in chiral pairs (aka have different left and right), at least they should be the way I want them
I've been in knitting purgatory trying to figure out how to measure and fit a perfect stockinette sock and boy am I close to finally figuring it out. Would it be a lot easier if I had knit with ribs? Yes. Am I too stubborn to change my objective now? Also yes

It didnāt occur to me that itās been a bit over a year since I got this tattoo, I love the tattoo artistās interpretation but my own sketch hold a special place in my heart
āOkay, weāre messing with you. You donāt just run. Running causes a bunācha noises, and their ears are pretty damn sharp down there.ā
āInstead, you got to back away slowly. If they donāt see you, you should not engage. Check where you are on the map, leave a tracker, and retreat somewhere safe until you are away from their earshot and call your Communications person. Report your findings to them, and mine somewhere else. They will send a team of Dungeon Crawlers to subdue it.ā
āIn the horrible case of you ever meeting one, you are allowed to use your Brine as means of self defense. Call the Comms immediately and hold on or escape while backup is coming. Your Comms will also tell you the whereabouts of nearby Safe Rooms or other Classes that can aid you to hold on until the Dungeon Crawlers arrive.ā
āItās not Minersā job to deal with Feral Brines. Itās so much better if you and your Brine protect yourselves and avoid any altercations with a Feral Brine. Youāre not equipped to do so, and you might either lose all your mining resources or injure yourself and your Brine.ā
āTL;DR, main rule of encountering a Feral Brine, no matter how small, and youāre NOT a Dungeon Crawler: Retreat, Mark Location, and Report. Donāt engage if you donāt need to.ā
