A Closer Look.

I'm going through the stash and photographing it for upload to ravelry. I'm taking it a little bit at a time, lest the stash try to consume me if I dig to deeply.

Yesterday was Socks that Rock Day:

Yikes, huh? This isn't even all of it. There are at least 5 that I missed yesterday or that were already up on Ravelry.


Yesterday, I spent a good amount of time taking photos of my wips. You'd think that after taking photos of it and then knitting on it for quite some time (enough time to knit a few pattern repeats, turn the heel and knit another two pattern repeats) that I would have noticed something very important about my Georgetown Socks.

Can you tell? If you take a close look, you probably will faster than I did.

The completed sock has 6 repeats across the foot. The in progress sock has only 5. GRR!!!

Now here is the real question of the day. I certainly have to rip the sock in progress. Should I just go ahead and rip the completed one? I love the pattern and the yarn but the cuff is a little short (as so many of my toe up socks are...I think I just run out of steam). I think the yarn would be better suited to a different pattern and the pattern could do a heavily variegated yarn some real justice.

What do you think? Rip one or both??

OMG! Don't rip both! The finshed one is beautiful! You can always knit the pattern in another color, but I think they're great.
