I have the worst luck with sock patterns.  I've tried 3 so far that haven't worked out very well.  The Jaywalker is history.  Frogged it about 2 minutes ago.  I used the smaller size in the pattern (my feet are 5.5 US) and I couldn't get the thing past my heel when I tried it on.  I was planning to give these to a woman whose foot is larger than mine, but not much.  I really don't feel like using the larger size, or figuring out how to make it work.  The leg of the sock is pretty long, and if I shortened it, it would probably fit better.  I feel like cussing, but I try not to do that here.  
I was all psyched about getting Christmas presents done in the summer.  I'm losing my joy over that.  I just wish I could find the RIGHT pattern.  I may give the Opal yarn a rest and try some beautiful Lorna's Laces Shepherd Sock I have in my stash.
Do you have a great sock pattern you LOVE?  If so, tell me about it, PLEASE!
On a happier note:  Isn't this cool?
