The Anti-FO

Back in January, I said I was going to get to work on my many UFOs in 2014. Well, the year is half over and I have finished exactly zero UFOS! I took a pair of baby socks with me on our trip to Door County this week. I knit the first one three or four years ago. Here is where I'm at:

Even though I cast on the same number of stitches, the second sock is significantly smaller than the first one. Apparently my gauge has changed. For a while, I kept on knitting, thinking that I'd just block the heck out of sock number 2. But the more I knit, the worse the size discrepancy became. Finally, I realized that this pair of socks was not worth much of my time. The yarn is left-over from a pair of socks, so I don't even have any financial investment in this project.

I am going to frog the whole project! I don't do this very often, and I'd forgotten how freeing it is! I may have to frog a few more UFOs!
