Socks

The problem with crocheting socks is that I have to make them both the same size, or at least, almost the same size. I am crocheting a pair of bright yellow socks for myself. I had to put them aside for a bit, and then when I came back to them, I forgot the exact stitch pattern I had been using, so I guessed. However, I was guessing in a movie theatre before the show (Nim's Island) began and the theatre got really dark. I was using a lighted crochet hook, but that didn't lite up my brain any. Sooo, now I see that I crocheted the first several rows using the double crochet front post stitch, and the last few rows using a single crochet front post stitch. Now I'm on the second sock at about that point -- should I try to make my mistake again, or correct it. neither sock is finished. When I got to the point of wanting to try on the mistaken sock, I was eating my lunch at work -- and the prospect of taking off my shoes and socks, and eating my lunch, and trying on a half sock, well--I didn't. I think I won't make the mistake in the second sock. If anyone notices I'll just point out that I don't like perfectly matched pairs of socks.
