dilemma
Okay, say your new stepdaughter spends the weekend at your house, and for some reason, she appropriates the pair of plain old socks that you made for your husband out of Regia Silk Sock Yarn. Seriously, she doesn't take them off for two days. Then you foolishly admit that you have been hoarding two more skeins of that yarn, but in the most beautiful pink color imaginable, and that you could make her her *own* pair. Of course, she says yes and you have no option but to cast on.
Then you finish the first sock, and it fits you PERFECTLY. Perfect foot, perfect heel, perfect ankle. And don't get me started how perfect the color is and how scrumptious the silk is.
Don't make me spell it out, kids. What's a girl to do?

You already promised her the socks, Kate. You know what you're *supposed* to do. Do they still make the yarn you've been hoarding? Because if they do, the answer is to BUY MORE YARN.

It is heart-wrenching, but yeah, what Grace said...
But no one said you couldn't go out right now and find some similarly colored Regia Silk Yarn for HER socks...

I have to agree. The socks will have bad juju if you keep them. Karma is a real pain in the ass.

Honest, I'm not keeping them. Sock karma is not to be trifled with. I'm just cursing my big ole mouth. :)
