Oh, hi. There went a week. Whoops. While I've been knitting in addition to packing, perhaps my focus has been a bit off. When I was well into the foot of the second Sockapal2za sock, I noticed something amiss with the pattern way back in the leg. You may not be able to see it, but the dominant wave should be continuous; there's no actual cable happening.
But something happened. And here's where I saw myself having matured. Even if I was keeping this pair for myself, I couldn't accept the error. And I sure didn't want to give them to my sock pal like this. So I ripped.
And already I'm back on the heel flap, proudly reknitting ~
I was growling to Richard last night that for every pair of socks I knit, I actually seem to knit at least three socks. The lacier the pattern, the worse it is.
Just last night I re-re-started a pair using the turquoise Koigu which I won for being your 1,000th commenter! And this time, I think it's going to fit me...
I've been assuming that I'm being punished for my arrogance (as I tend to make the patterns up as I go along...with unpredictable results), but in fact this is apparently an opportunity to show my maturity as a knitter!
Sigh.

I'm all for ripping and getting it right. Hurray! You'll soon be done!
