gauge arguments

So, you remember the other day when I said that I was shunning my grandma sock? Well, hopefully that's over, unless a gauge to decide to be a dirty rotten liar again. I gauge was off, and the sock was close to being 10 inches around.

And someone may have forgotten to figure in the slight negative ease that socks have. I'll have to have a stern talk with whoever that is. Maybe dock their pay for the transgression. All silliness aside, I've restarted the socks and for now that pesky Internet or is being quiet, we'll see for how long that lasts. (I have no doubt I'll be battling her for a while as the little painful to knit through that mentally.)

Bright blessings!
