Going going...gone

Ugh.
Ok, I want Socks that Rock. I love them, love working them, but well...it doesn't fit! It's too snug. I did a swatch on 1s, recipe calls for 2s, but I like the way it worked and THOUGHT I got gauge. I even did it in the round folks. Hm..but you know what. I didn't double strand, just single..bet that was the difference. Anyway when measuring stiches per in on my too small sock I was getting 8 1/2 rather than 8. So I frogged..
Back to a pair of balls. Whee!
I'll start again using the 2s. I WANT these socks and I WANT them to fit. *thbbt*
