Another way to knit socks. Damnitall. Re fit: Trekking is not shrinkable, is it? Since it is garter stitch and not top down/toe up; the shrinking should occur in the width of this sock. I think. Maybe I should test this but if you shrunk a regular sock, the length changes dramatically while the width, not so much. Ask me how I know these things :) So I imagine that a sideways sock would shrink more in width than length. All of which is mute. I going to go sort through my old mags for the pattern. I have some Trekking in stash. /sigh damn you. Another way to knit socks. Damnitall.

I always thought that was the best thing that ever came out of the 80s. ;) Seriously, maybe if the socks yarn sits for a little while, it will tell you what it would prefer? But that's beautiful yarn and perfect for supporting michigan! Besides, the noro sweater looks gorgeous and this is giving you time to finish Lizzy for spring.

They also work to keep your feet warm in bed. So maybe it's worth finishing for that that purpose. Oversize socks make good around-the-house slippers. They also work to keep your feet warm in bed.
