I have a pair of socks that while fits, was just uncomfortable over the course of the day.😭 It was my Too Cute for Names sock. Something about where it hinged from my foot to the leg was just ... too tight!😒😭 It fit but, it just pulled at that spot and over the course of the day, it always felt like it was getting tighter. So, I finally gave in and decided that I was going to fix it. I ripped it out a little past the point to which it was too tight and then followed my Make Me Happier Socks formula. Here's how it turned out:
1. Started on Row 51 with a total of 47 sts
2. Row 52: k22, m1, k25 for a total of 48 sts
3. Row 53: k
4. Row 54: k, m1, k22, m1, k for a total of 26 sts on each side (total of 50 stitches)
5. Row 55-56 (2 rows): k
6. Row 57: k, m1, k24, m1, k for a total of 28 sts on each side (total of 52 stitches)
7. Row 58-62 (5 rows): k
8. Row 63-104 (42 rows): Make Fish Lips Heel.
9. Row 105-124 (20 rows): k, maintaining 28 sts on each side
10. Row 125-134 (10 rows): ssk, k12, k2tog, k12, k2tog for a total of 25 sts on each side
11. Row 135-160 (25 rows): start 1x1 ribbing, maintaining 25 sts on each side.
Here's how my corrected pair looks like:

I'm so glad that I decided to rip out these socks and make them better. Now that they fit properly, I don't even know how I managed to wear them as long as I did (and on trips!)! I think that with all the practice that I had with Hubs socks, I'm finally learning how to make better socks for myself! 🙌 🎉👍
