Sock Knitting Failure

I recently started knitting my first pair of socks. This morning, while watching television, I finished my first ever adult sock with teeny tiny yarn and teeny tiny needles.

However, I tried the sock on and an elephant could wear it. EEEKKK. I’m going to finish the second sock in the same manner and hopefully they will shrink or something. Or I’ll give them away. I’m not sure what I’ll do with them. UGH.

Was your gauge right? But you could always give these to someone with huge feet.

- I thought my gauge was right. I think I didn’t make them long enough in the foot area, but they are just all around huge. I also think that I made the wrong size. These are supposedly 8 1/2, which I probably definitely wouldn’t wear an 8 1/2 in a sock.
