Sock v. Jen---JEN WINS

So I was having more than a bit of a time with this sock. the pattern was start with 31 st, and at the end of the heel turn...I would have 19.

I must have stitched that Braided Gem Sock at least 30 times. (okay more like 10, but you get the jist)...I drew out the pattern at least 10 ...

Finally I reworked it and figured out the problem.

I was looking for ONE error in the pattern...there were TWO.

Kinda like how many shooters in Dallas that Nov. morning, eh?

It should be
r 1: sl 1, p 17, p2 tog, p1 (omitted the slip stitch)
r2: sl 1, k6, ssk, k1 9 on needle (was originally k5)
r3: sl 1, p 7, p2 tog, p1 = 10
r4: sl 1, k8, ssk, k1 = 11
r5: sl 1, p 9, p2 tog, p1 = 12
r6: sl 1, k10, ssk, k1 = 13
r7: sl 1, p 11, p2 tog, p1 = 14
r8: sl 1, k12, ssk, k1 = 15
r9: sl 1, p 13, p2 tog, p1 = 16
r10: sl 1, k14, ssk, k1 = 17
r11: sl 1, p 15, p2 tog, p1 = 18
r12: sl 1, k16, ssk, k1 = 19

JE SUIS UNE NINJA!!!!
