Thanks for the all the comments on my argyle-ish socks! I appreciate the encouragement, especially after this week’s progress.
First off, remember how I said that turning the heel was my least favorite part? Well, it figures that I’d have to rip it out and start over.
The problem was that I’d offset the pattern incorrectly when I charted it the first time. Oops.
And then there’s the gusset.
I’m not completely sure how I feel about it yet. It’s definitely not perfect; in particular, there’s a couple of small spots along the decrease lines that could be improved upon. On the other hand, I really don’t want to rip it out again, because this is actually my second try at the gusset. (I’d gotten about halfway through the first attempt when I decided I didn’t like how that was turning out.)
So I’m trying to decide whether I can live with what I currently have or if I should just suck it up, rip back, and rechart and knit it yet again. Thoughts, anyone?

Suck it up and rip. If it was anyone else, I’d say just live with it, but I know you, and you’re not going to want to make the 2nd one the same if you don’t like the first one. So you’ll make the 2nd one better, and then rip this one back and fix it, but it will take you 6 months to get there. So just do it now.
I say make the correction on the second sock, but keep going on this one.
Sometimes I’ll rip it my project several times until I get it perfect. But, if it’s something complicated and nobody else can see the error (I can’t see the error in your photo, it looks great!), I’d leave it that way and fix it the second time around like Kristen suggests. Good luck!
Mistake? What mistake? I can’t see any mistakes. Seriously – that is one amazing heel.
