Socks of Unusual Size

While I finished the first sock and started right in on the second one,

I didn't have Bill try them on to see if they fit.

The foot fit fine but the 2 x 2 rib was too loose;

even after I tossed this into the washer/dryer! So

So I will have to rip out the leg stitches 

and do a decrease across the whole round at the ankle 

to have 12 fewer stitches to knit the leg again!

It's just another reason to knit the socks toe-up 

because if I had to rip out the whole sock

well, I am not sure it would get done any time soon!

You can see the size comparison here--I am ready to begin the heel on my sock!
