But you know what, I've given gifts of socks that the first one has striped and the second one pooled, and the owners have absolutely loved them, as it made them unique. I actually like it when they both turn out different (colourwise / not sizewise) LOL.Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08903728734280874993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6590689044094137272.post-21111178590164102962009-10-13T21:56:01.960+11:002009-10-13T21:56:01.960+11:00Maybe that is called 2nd sock syndrome....Maybe that is called 2nd sock syndrome....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6590689044094137272.post-2587394492903337172009-10-13T13:45:46.879+11:002009-10-13T13:45:46.879+11:00That happened to me too, just the once fortunately...That happened to me too, just the once fortunately. I'd finished a sock. Most of the second sock was knitted while I was watching the skating at Winter Olympics. I think my fingers were knitting in time to the music and my tension was much tighter than when I'd ambled along on it.. However, it still fit me and I could get it on so I left it. I was surprised at the difference.Janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04324917828815299886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6590689044094137272.post-33594719411904122292009-10-13T11:01:39.611+11:002009-10-13T11:01:39.611+11:00Give yourself room to be miserable and then rip th...Give yourself room to be miserable and then rip them both out and start again! I don't think you will repeat the first gauge and it will always be a 'chance' to try. JMHO-eat chocolate and then rip out!
