There are questions to which we do not really want to find out the answer. I cast on a pair of Stripe Tease for the SKA unusual construction challenge. I knit. I frogged. Tip: follow the pattern exactly as written, don't try to think. If you try to think for yourself, you'll mess up. Take my word for it, I did.
Anyhow... yes, I'm procrastinating showing you the next picture. Because it's downright pathetic, my poor, poor ugly sock. I hope it looks better when it's finished, because right now... well, see for yourselves.
The combination of unusual construction and unfortunate yarn choice is making the poor sock look like it's been massacred. So let's move on to happier things, like Blathnat.
Koigu KPM in a happy green, pretty lace, it's going well. I can still knit pretty socks! I sure need that reminder.
And yet again, I cast on for the Geodesic Cardigan. Let's hope it works this time around. The stockinette is curling in spite of the garter stitch edges. Maybe a good blocking will help.
I am off to work on my poor misshapen socks. Hope springs eternal. Maybe my ugly ducklings will turn into a beautiful swan...

I'm sure there are swans lurking in there! Love the Koigu yarn. That pattern just pops.
Poor ugly sock. Hope it grows up to be gorgeous!
The Koigu socks are lovely! The green looks great with that stitch pattern!
And good luck with Geodesic :) I always think about knitting it, but never quite feel up to it....
Everyone goes through the ugly, clumsy phase, I bet the sock will grow up just fine.
Hee hee, and seriously, one would think that by default sock yarn from Germany couldn't be ugly.
I feel yah! That yarn looks like it would be good for an entrelac pattern.
