Last week, Nathan ran his little walker over to my knitting area, picked up my Pomatomus socks in progress and yanked two of the needles out of them. Those socks has taken me like a month just to knit to that point and they were already fairly screwed up with some areas where I had clearly not increased at the right time or I had simple dropped a stitch and then picked it up incorrectly.
This was already after Paul told me that the yarn was so incredibly crazy that he could not see the pattern in them. Also, the socks looked like they would be incredibly tall and I hate incredibly tall socks. I got so depressed about the whole situation that I ripped the socks out.
I've already started a pair of plain stockinette anklets with the yarn, but the whole thing is super depressing. I don't think I like the incredibly variegated nature of most of the Socks That Rock collection. I still plan to do the Pomatomus socks one day, but with a different less variegated yarn.
Ugh, I'm off to be depressed now. Sewing success news on the morrow, hopefully.

aww! bad nathan! but i think paul is right; with a sock like pomatomus you want to use a solid color that doesn't hide the stitch texture. ^_^
besides. ankle socks are fun.
oh, the agony.. I'm just waiting for Spice to do that to some project of mine.. it's inevitable!
