Because you asked, allow me to introduce you to my socks. I tried them on yesterday.
I like the colours. The gray is nice and simple and the contrasting black band is great. The lace pattern is pretty. I love the heel. The pattern is from the Summer 2005 Interweave Knits. It's a PITA to knit (see this post). But I like the idea.
However, trying them on made me realise something might be amiss. So I tried something.
They're loose. Really loose. I could fit a fist in with my foot loose.
I got gauge! I swear!
So off to the frog pond they went.
And this is what they look like now.
The teeny picture size is to reflect how big I feel for knitting the same pattern twice and frogging it twice.
I need something new to knit.

Maybe the third time is the the charm? What yarn is it? Looks lovely.
And now I have to add that sock to my list of to dos. Thankyouverymuch. :)
Oh that's too bad you had to frog them, they were looking good too. But what good are socks you can't wear huh! :)
Gah, they were so pretty! That's a bummer.
Oh, well. . . just think of all of the patience and beginner's mind you get to learn.
Doesn't help?
Yeah, I didn't think it would. Sorry.
