I think. Maybe you transposed numbers, or lost count at some point? which one actually fits a baby foot? you can leave that one, rip out the other to the point of difference and reknit from there.<br /><br />sorry that knitting has such a messed up sense of humor!cleancuphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10208170842629755056noreply@blogger.com
