It wouldn't look much different if I had been going for a square end. The Silky Cashmere yields only three and a quarter rows per skein. It splices ugly, so I start a new skein every three rows. I have lots of remnants. I count rounds on socks and this is the first time I've gotten two wildly different socks after blocking. This is also the first set I've made with Koigu. I guess that it is also possible that I wound these in opposite directions giving them different twists as they came out of the cake, but unlikely. Turning the ball-winder counter-clockwise feels unnatural. These socks should be in Dallas long before May, all three of them. It will be short fringe.

(If fringe, I'd have worked the whole thing differently, but I'm not going to tell you now because at this point you might be annoyed.) I think you should bring the socks to the men's knitting retreat and let's look. (Do you measure the socks when in progress by counting rows -- "Let's see, I knitted 72 rows after picking up for the gussets and before starting the toe shaping, so I need to work 72 rows on the other sock." -- or do you use a tape measure?)
