I will be stretching it more this time. I love this lime green color. I love the pattern though. I want to guage moutain colors supermerino to knit a pair in that too.

I had forgotten until you mentioned it! Dare I become a sock knitter???? (I mean, I do knit booties.) Sock is looking grand, Donna. Thanks for the link to the tutorial.

Sad to see it go, but perfectionism is an urge we all give into sometimes. You'll love the socks that much more when you're all done! Pretty, pretty sock!

Grab a crochet hook, fiddle with picking up stitches to fix that hole - if you pick up more than one, just crochet them together to form one stitch before knitting back up that ladder you created when you let that stitch run back in your work. Always try to twist the picked up loop before knitting it to help close the holes. I do this all the time - in fact, this works so well that I usually pick up one stich at each gussett corner without much concern for holes... knit an inch or so and then look for holes and fix them accordingly. I've found that sometimes the holes don't show themselves very well until you have gotten past the gussett an inch or so and can stretch the fabric around that gussett to see what will happen to it under stress (like when you wear it). If I haven't explained this very well and its confusing, feel free to e-mail me. The sock looks beautiful.. great work !!
