Clearly, I needed something more drastic. But what? I decided to tink 5 rows for some needed yarn, and then did two rows of tubular stockinette and grafted these two sides together. It’s actually too big for me (but then I have small ankles), so I think we’ve finally got it.

Tomorrow, I’ll finish the other sock! :)
