Confusion sets in..

I knew this sock was too easy. First little issue was when I was knitting the heel flap. By doing all the decreases, I wind up a stitch short. Hence, ignored a decrease. Wound up with a hole after turning the heel and picking up stitches to form said heel.

I can deal, I can deal, keep knitting.

Repeat decrease rounds 7 times to bring stitch count down to 48. Problem. Need 8 decreases to do that. WTF is going on. I need 48 stitches, just do the 8 decreases.

We'll see how this ends up tomorrow. If these don't fit him, I'm wearing them myself.
