I Need a Re-Do!

Can you say..."Sallee READ the pattern?"

I didn't read Wendy's lovely pattern and that gorgeous Hot Flash sock toe you saw yesterday? Frogged.

8 sts to the inch on size 0s.

Um. Yeah. Right. Well...I don't get 8 sts to the inch with STR on my 1s. I pulled the sock onto my foot this a.m. and thought, "What WAS I thinking?"

It was definitely too big. (sigh)

I've ordered two size 0, 16-inch Harmony circulars from Knitpicks. (And um, well, a few other things just might have jumped into my cart. It's my birthday the end of the week, so why not? I'm just sayin')

I'm still going to use the Hot Flash colorway for Wendy's Seaweed socks. I'm just not starting on them till I get the right-sized needles.

So...I started this:
and the consolation is that the Art Walk Sock Club colorway Black Iris is making me drool while I knit! I've had this caked for a bit, and finally decided to reward myself and do Wendy's Feather & Fan pattern on the cuff while I wait for the needles to arrive.

(How do I love thee, Black Iris? Let me count the ways...pastel pink, charcoal gray, and plum - the colors of my winter wardrobe...)

Roxie, I got the July selection, and I won't be a spoiler, but I can say there were many at the office today who were drooling over it...and I just LOVE the Gems base! You and I discussed that these colors weren't fully my favorites (tho' the blue is stunning), but I knew it would still be great - I was not wrong...
