A Minor Setback

There's been a minor setback on the sock. When I got to the heel flap things did not turn out the way they did on sock #1. There was a different number of stitches when I got done turning the heel, and there were fewer stitches to pick up on the instep. I continued gamely on, but this morning I couldn't face the offending sock, and ripped back.

It occurs to me that I am having a houseful of people starting Friday afternoon, two of whom are allergic to anything dairy, and I have not done any shopping yet. Procrastination anyone?
