It's a Mystery

A rare weekend post to show you this:

The current state of my MS3. I debated not showing you this, but decided to be truthful. I had a problem with my stitch count, I tinked, still off, I tinked some more, and then more, and I just couldn't seem to get it right. So I ripped. I guess I need to consider a lifeline every 50 rows or so. But the day was not a total waste. I finished the Striped Cotton Socks for Dave. They are seen here before their inaugural trip through the washer and dryer. Dave says they're a little loose, but I'm hoping once they're washed and dried they will turn out just right. Then I started again. This time on some cabled socks (also for Dave -- By the size of that cone, he may end up with enough grey socks to last the rest of his life.)
