I can’t tell you how many dozens of pairs of socks I’ve knit over the years. I still get gusset holes sometimes, which really annoys me. Here’s a closeup.
It’s always on that same side. It just pisses me off, even though I can fix it later with duplicate stitch.
But isn’t that some pretty sock yarn? I just keep knitting and knitting to get to the next color stripe.
And one last photo.
Those colors are great. The knitting peeps are so cute!
All those colors! Pure happiness!
Your holes are a lot tinier than mine! But I hear you–it drives me crazy too! This makes me want to cast on for some stripey socks–even though I have at least four pairs of socks unfinished. Oops!
Pretty colors in those socks. And very even sts. When I pick up the gussets, I pick up 2 additional sts in the “corner”. In the next row I k2tog twice at the corner so they go away. This usually closes up any gaps in the corner.
