It's the only word for the emotion.
I do love them. I'm absurdly proud of them. Not because they are fancy or anything, but because these just took some personal grit to finish.
Aaaaaaaaand...I have a little something else to show you.
A very sariebeth sock, if I do say so myself. They are really fun to knit and I am loving how they feel. They fit like a glove. I need to do the toe and then I get to make one more.
Now, I have an issue where I need help. It has to do with gauge for Sock Wars. After doing a gauge swatch, I think I am getting 8 stitches to the inch but 11 rows per inch. Gauge said 8 spi and 10 rpi. How do I solve this issue?
Also, I'm way excited about the yarn for my Sock Wars socks. Hope I can figure out how to get gauge. Should I try with a thicker yarn?

Sweet sock update!
From the little bit that I read online, it looks like needle size might affect row gauge a bit more than stitch gauge. So maybe if you try a needle that's a half size smaller you'll find that your stitches are still to gauge and then your row gauge would be perfect?
You're reminding me that I'll need to try this since I've only bothered with a gauge swatch once so far and never for socks. :P
Oops, I meant bigger so that you'd get fewer rows to the inch. Doh!
