Sometimes You Just Have to Call Quits



I was almost done this sock.  I even had to rip out the heel to redo because I messed up the pattern on it.  It's Riff Socks.  http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/riff-socks  It wasn't hard but I had to start the increase for the heel section really early.  The pattern wasn't going right and I even tried tinking back to see if I could save it.  The nail in the coffin was that it was too big.  The heel was just hanging off the back of hubby's foot.  It's not a pattern you can stop to make a short sock either.  Hubby luckily doesn't like tall socks (he has 11.5 size feet!).




So I ripped it and started this sock instead.  I like it much better.  http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/diamond-gansey-socks-guernsey-rautenmuster  I need to make sure I make the sock smaller because the yarn will expand when its washed and blocked.  I can make this short too.
