Lopsided

What happens when you start the toe decreases on a sock and discover you forgot a gusset increase back at the beginning of the foot:


I hear you. One stitch? Just decrease one extra at the toe and you'll be fine. Except I wouldn't be fine. I would lurch to one side, internally, every time I wore the sock. My family knows this about me. I used to point out a knitting error and ask for advice about whether I should rip back and fix it or just live with the error. And then I would always rip back. After a few years of that, I had only to point out an error and they would just tell me to go back and fix it. Now I don't even ask. Self-knowledge is a time-saver. It's all about fixing the things you can, and letting go of the things you can't.


See? All fixed.
