Okay, granted, I've been having the headache from hell for the past few days, and knitting in semi darkness, but these two socks are totally different! I've noticed that I was off by one stitch on the decreasing, but still... Could one stitch (each side) make that much of a difference? I mean, look at the difference in the pattern on both sides of the socks! I don't get it!Needless to say, I've unravelled the sock with the extra stitch, and I'll be knitting it back, hopefully without too much of a difference in the pattern this time. Wish me luck!

wow there really is a difference! I'm not exactly a new knitter but I haven't ventured beyond anything much more complex than variations on socks... so Im confused - will your socks have a seam? Why are they so wide?
The socks appear quite wide (I agree) because the yarn has a bit of stretch in it, and I knit them tighter at the ankle. I must confess that I never used a pattern to knit socks, as I learned to knit from my grandma when I was six, and only learned to read patterns about five years ago. The method I was taught is to decrease steadily at the toes... no seams.
