F*%#$$%#%#ing Socks

OK.
It is Not fair!
No... really it's NOT
See the picture of the socks in the last post.... oh hang it I will post it here again for pitty sakes...
Just a minute I have to go find the damn thing.....
Ah... here it is...

Now take a close look at this picture..... can you see anything that might possibly be wrong with it?  I mean there's nothing wrong with the picture... albeit it's not the best picture in the world... but I am referring to what is in the picture.... do you see anything wrong with the F@#$#&*ing Socks....

Ah yes....one sock is substantially longer than the other.....@#%$@^$%&%^*^&*^&(&(&$%#$@

Sorry I had a momentary lapse of sense.

Yes it was only after I had posted this picture yesterday that I realized that one sock and another do not always make a pair. The upper sock is lovely. It configures as a sock should... nice shaft.... lovely heel... wonderful instep.... perfect toe....

The lower sock however does not configure as a sock should.... the shaft is alright... yes it looks good... doesn't it.... the heel is fine... I counted the rows.... yep it looks fine. The instep is ok...... yes it is. It's the damn toe.... (cut the bugger off I say!) The toe is far too long and this sock would fit a hobbit for God's sake.

So I had to take out the toe and ravel it back and re-knit the toe... I had repeated the pattern once too many times and so I had to take back the extra repeat in the toe of the sock too and then knit the toe back on.... now it looks right.

Meanwhile the socks in the dye pot.... yeah we're not going there.... at least not tonight... I've done enough swearing for one day. (sigh)
