Thanks for all your votes and comments concerning the cuff of the Fun Nation socks! Half of you voted for plain stockinette, which was twice as many votes as for both wavy and spirals. My wonderful sockpal 'Itsa Secret' is right, though- doing a different pattern on the top would kind of be too much.

Anyhow, I've got another yarn picked out  that I'll do a wavy adaptation with:-)

So last night I worked away on the socks, and there it was. A speck of colour in the yellow stripe. There already was one in the light turquoise, which I tried to ignore, but in the yellow stripe it really catches your eye. WTF?! Just a few rows up, there was another speck.

How can that happen- it's REGIA after all?!

I went to the store where I'd bought it and they gave me a free ball of the yarn, which was great. I'd been afraid they'd ask me to give them my unfinished sock so they could send it in, but they didn't.

Man, this is really bugging me now. These socks really belonged together and I even liked this side better because of how the striping worked out in the heel part. But the specks are bothering me too. Boo-hoo.
