I have learned my lesson from that type of thing. If it isn't working, just put it down and come back to it later. Work on something else for a while. No problem. I picked up the Winter Solstice sock and started to work on that. I figure, I can do this it's nothing but stockinette stitch. Easy peasy.
I am about halfway up the leg when I notice a problem. A LARGE problem. Something I should have noticed WAY before now - especially since it is toe up and I have tried the darn thing on like 15 times.
See it?

How about now?

Notice the position of the toe here?

That's right. I knit the heel on the WRONG FREAKING STITCHES!!!!!!!!!!! Nice, huh? And the funny(ish) thing is that I was so careful about choosing the "nicest" side of the sock for the top when I did the heel. I guess I didn't consider the fact that it also needed to be in line with the toe!
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
A froggin' we will go

Put it again. Does it really feel wrong? Cat Bordhi would probably say leave it.
I second trying them on to see if they feel weird first. :)
AAAwwwwww, LOVES!!!! I have days like that, especially when I try designing in the dark.
Oooooh, and this is where perfection is all of a sudden a personality trait that s****....
Happy frogging!
i would have prob left it if it felt fine....it's handmade after all!!! we're you knitting under the influence?? smile
I feel ya. I have always knit cuff down socks and followed a pattern. But one of my socks came out with the toe seam going from sky to ground instead of left to right. UGH
Did I fix it? Heck no! I just wear that pair around the house! lol
