Redo

i started to work on Emily's socks Sunday making the med size 64 sts, after i finished the ribbing and started on the leg pattern, i noticed it looked a bit wide, i just passed it off as just the look of the pattern because i usually don't knit socks in any pattern other than a plain 2x2 rib, and those have really skinny legs, but the more i knit the more it bothered me until i decide to try it on and yea it was too wide for me and Emily's legs are thinner than mine, i tried to tell my self it would shrink after i washed it and kept going to the heel, as that progressed it was getting too big and i finally faced the truth, i couldn't give these socked to her and my reputation as a knitter would be in ruins, so i frogged the sock and went down to small size 56 sts. so far it seems ok, this pattern is very easy to memorize so frogging it was not so heart wrenching. but i may change the heel flap to something sturdier, I'm not really a fan of a stockinette flap, ill see how a twisted rib will look with this pattern.

still haven't gotten yarn for Kelly's cowl but i may start swatching for my neck warmer. i have some hobby lobby yarn that i lost the band to so i don't remember the name or color but i did use it the last time i knit the neck warmer and it is incredibly soft. i think ill also need to remove some repeats to make the neck warmer fit like it should, i think ill put on the 1st neck warmer on and pin it to the right shape i want and see how many repeats to take out and also check my gauge before i mess with the # of sts so i don't get another neck warmer i cant wear.
