things that make you go argh smash kill

Beth and I got matching wool at the Sheep & Wool Festival, for to make each other matched socks (under the logic that neither of us finishes projects for ourselves, but will for other people). I was merrily tootling along, having finished the 6" or so of leg and just about to start on the heel when I realized I'd cast on 80 stitches. Not the correct 60.

At the stitch gauge I'm using, that's roughly an extra 2.5" circumference.

I have created a sock for the Hulk.

I'm now going to have to unravel the entire buggering thing and start over.

Hello the Aussies.

Ugg boots. Worth it/not worth it? They look wonderfully snuggly but I have vague recollections of having heard that they're not All That And A Bag Of Chips.
