I Would Never Abuse This Trust

It's time to throw up the bat signal.

Thank Goodness Bookish Wendy came up with this!

So, despite all evidence to the contrary I have continued knitting along on the The Little Sock That Could™ even though there is a small little hole where I picked up the stitches for the gusset. (Per The Princess The Harlot reports this is not unusual and will go away when things get a little fuzzy) (see how I even know the terminology - I'm like a real live knitter now)

Knit - knit - knit - Some of the gusset isn't really pretty - but I'll live with it. Or rather The Princess will live with it, and quite honestly it's in the damn shoe and I'm going to beg her not to show them off to anyone.

(imagine pictures here I'm not alone in the office and taking pictures is not easily explained) (It's particularly difficult to explain taking pictures of my big foot stuffed into a sock sized for The Princess under my desk to get the proper lighting) (unfortunately trying to use the ladies restroom isn't a good alternative either)

And now I need to know:

• When do I start decreasing for the toe?
• Is there some magical place like knuckle area of the pinkie toe I know nothing about?
• Whose damn idea was this sock knitting thing anyway?
  
• How many rows will it take to go from full size to toe size?
• What the hell have I gotten myself into?

Since I'm not ballsy enough to email Cat Bordhi (I'm using her book to wing my way through this whole ordeal procedure) and ask - I'm depending on you (Chris, Jeanne, Beadslut, Annie, Hillary......you know who you are -)(although do you toe-up people appreciate the pain I'm in here?) to help me out before I cast myself upon the needles in a last sacrifice to the Knitting Goddess.
Overly Dramatic? I think not!
