Grrrrrrr.

The socks were coming along so well, I'd done the heal flap and started on the gusset when I noticed a mistake.

I decided I'd just rip them back to before the mistake but of course I did that wrong and ended up having to frog the lot (sob, howl, hit my head against a brick wall) so now I'll have to start them again, humph!

I'm so unimpressed with myself, will have to learn how to rip back and correct mistakes without having to redo the whole thing. I know it's only socks but I've done this with bigger things as well, my husbands cardigan comes to mind. I've lost count of the number of times I frogged that and had to restart. The cardigan has now had it's final frogging and I won't be restarting it with that particular yarn.

Going back to the socks, I would like to make them smaller as I've small feet and they did look rather large but the magazine I got the pattern from only had the one size, will have to look into weather I can actually make them smaller.
