Here's my Noro sock. I decided it was too tight and also, I am un-enamored of the toe up construction. I debated, but I really, really love this yarn, and didn't want to end up with socks I resented. So I ripped and have restarted, and I'm much, much happier with it. While I was ripping and rewinding on the shuttle (we have off-site parking and have to ride a shuttle every day from the parking lot to the building we work in) I lost control of my yarn ball and it was rolling around on the floor of the shuttle. A measure of how unfriendly everyone is where I work -- no one even said anything! I was like, "Come on people, this is really funny! Anywhere else I would have expected some ribbing, a couple of slightly off-color comments about how I couldn't control my balls. Nope. Nothing. Only two of the dozen or so people even looked up. Whatever.
I'm just past the gusset on my grey sock, too.

I am sorry to hear that your toe-up venture was unsuccessful. I always love doing mine toe up, but that's just me :)
it is a true testament of love to rip and reknit... and really, you shouldn't try to amuse the un-amusable. but you can make me laugh at knitting tonight, if you want!
You must work with the same peeps I do!!! I too struggle often with the frog-or-not-to-frog dilemma and it seems if I am thinking about it, then I just need to do it or I could never be happy with the finished product.
The boat sank in Titanic? Nooooooooooo
