This is an Austrian Patterned Knee Sock from Socks Socks Socks that I started ages ago.

I am absolutely addicted to knitting it (despite more pressing demands, such as the swiftly approaching SAT II exams).

Sadly, when I started this sock (in 2005!) I did not bother to read ahead through all the charts and missed a very glaring error in the first row of Pattern B. There’s a row of all purl stitches that is certainly not supposed to be there; I remember thinking it odd at the time but decided to just go with it after seeing a few repeats. Well, when I picked up the sock last week I realized that it was not the same pattern that the calf-shaping called for. Instead of frogging everything, I’m just continuing to stick in a purl row every fourth row.

I actually think the pattern is rather neat, though it’s supposed to look like the criss-cross section of this pattern on the front of the sock:

I reseamed the right sleeve of Butterfly because I hadn’t lined it up perfectly; I need to block the sweater and then I’ll post a picture.
