That “sapling” is a spare goose or asparagus. Glad someone else knew the pink, though!

It is Lychnis coronaria Rose Campion. It is technically a biennial or short lived perenial but it reseeds itself so well that while not the same plant it will exist in the garden for many years.

Can’t you just rip the toe of the sock and make it longer? Or, do you also need more width? If it is impossible to rescue, then save it and make a second for yourself!

I think it is always harder when you knit for someone else because you fear it won’t fit. Are you sure the sock won’t fit someone with a smaller foot? My socks fit me fine (size but sometimes my daughter will try them on and they fit her, too. She wears a 9.5.

Oh, for heaven’s sake! I would NEVER frog a perfectly good sock, especially when it even fits YOU! Just set it aside to finish the second one later when you can spare time to knit for yourself. Now, go pick out something else to knit up with your modified Unst idea for your Sockapalooza pal.

If the sock fits, wear it. Knit something else for SP.
