Let's try this again (and again)
Jaywalker socks, take three. The first one (large size, #1 needles) was way too small. The second one (large size, #2 needles) was way too big. But this third one, the smaller size on #2 needles, is just right!
Or at least I'm 99.9% sure they'll be just right. Trying on a sock-in-progress on 4 DPNs is nearly impossible for me, but I think it'll be fine. This'll teach me to make sure my gauge is OK before starting a project. (Well... this and the three or four sweaters I have that don't fit because I was too gung-ho about casting on to bother with a swatch. Oops.)

Reveal!
Hi Liz! Your socks are looking good! You have a lot of patience (to do all that ripping out and restarting) - I *hate* swatching, but I force myself to do it.
It's time for me to reveal myself, and I've lost your snail-mail address, so here I am! It's been fun being your SP, and I apologize that I haven't been as attentive lately, but you know... life happens! I will definitely be sticking around, though!
