I frogged the sock.
To tell you the truth, it sort of happened by accident. I'd made a couple of mistakes on the foot, and I was warned I'd be able to feel them when I wore the sock, and I had one on each side so I couldn't just make the side with the mistake the top, so I started frogging, and then I was so close to the toe that I said screw it, I'll start fresh.
I'm now trying yet again. I just finished the toe and started working in the round (joy!). I think I've made fewer mistakes this time around, but I know they're still there. But I'm pretty determined that I need to finish this sock come hell or high water. Otherwise I'll never learn anything about knitting a sock start to finish.
At this point, my only hope is that the sock is wearable.
In other news, I like knitting with double points (bamboo, baby!), but I don't like dealing with the three double points I'm not knitting with. I guess I'll get used to it. It'll build character.

I hope you are able to wear your socks when they are done..I would love to be knitting soskc but the idea of DPN's freak me out lol its hard enough keeping track of 2 needles let alone trying to keep track of all the ones you would have to use when making socks good luck with your socks
Ouch.
The DPNs do get easier, ya just gotta get used to them.
Sock Froggers Unite!
I finally stabbed my skein of sock yarn with my DPNs called it a porcupine and tossed it into the bin of hibernating projects. In a few weeks when I'm less frustrated I'll pull it back out; ask the yarn if it has learned its lesson, and start all over again.
I have to agree with you, I like the DPNs, there are just too many of them.
