Those Darned Socks

OK sometimes I can totally obsess about a project.  I knit some socks a few years ago.  I love the cuff of the sock which has some cashmere in it.  However, I made the mistake of using fingerling yarn or light yarn meant for baby clothes and other projects for the body of the sock.  I have spent so much time repairing these socks that I could have knit two more pair.  The socks now look like a folk art project.
