Seriously, I have made mistakes and frogged more sock knitting this month than I can remember. Sigh!
Maybe it has something to do with the rainy spring?
Yesterday I finished the Uptown Boot Socks without further incident, (and I’ll get to those) so then I picked up the scallop socks intending to finish sock #2. Now, I was somewhat proud of myself that even though I had decided to change the design and would end up frogging (just a little) part of the foot on the first sock, I was actually making pretty good progress on the second one. After all I had finished the heel flap and was working steadily toward the heel turn. I finished the turn, picked up the gusset stitches started back into the pattern on the foot, pulled out the first sock to do a little counting and then… hmmm, I can’t quite put my finger on it, but something doesn’t seem right. Keep knitting, it’s just the light… No really, there’s something off here… no, keep knitting (sneaking suspicion continues to assert itself) … pull out pattern notes, GASP! I have been doing the simple 4 stitch, 2 row lace pattern incorrectly… no kidding! For most of the sock…. here’s what happened next:
Before:
After:
But, I still have this to be proud of - Chocolate Truffles: 
Pattern: Uptown Boot Sock by Jennifer Appleby
Yarn: Lucy Neatby Celestial Merino Dream in Bittersweet Chocolate
Size 2.5 needles / Magic Loop
Times frogged before getting a complete pair: 4 
Fit ... perfect!
Some Mays are just like that… June can’t come fast enough I hope it’s too hot for frogs!
