Well, my mock cable socks are now a FO. Thank God. I love the pattern. I love the yarn. The color way rocks. These socks have confirmed that I am a process knitter. I love the feel of the yarn. It is great to see the progress. I zone out. ADD kicks in when I’m knitting. This pattern was a simple one where I was stretching myself away from the k2p2. The pattern repeats every 4 rows. If it had not been for the beaded row counter I could never have finished. As an example when I got to the toe, Wahoo, I’m almost done. Instead of starting the toe decreases I knit along. I was 4 rows gone when I realized that I should have been decreasing! So ribbit I go. 4th pair down! I could never do Summer of Socks, have you seen what Wendy knits and designs! This gal is remarkable. 
OK, another FO, so I go back to my Lots of Choices top. I picked up to complete the V neck side (right in the picture).I think I'm ready to bind off. But before I do I fold it in half. See the problem. Look closely. The V neck side is longer than the round neck side. What is a girl to do? I have no idea if I screwed up this side or the other, I don't think I did. The V neck looks right. I'll check my measurement per the pattern. Then I am going to start the other half and see what happens. Now that I have socks out of my system I can finish this part this week. Then I will know what to do to fix the pink side. I'll keep you posted.

Beautiful socks! Thanks for alerting me. The Hummingbird is lovely, all knitted up.
Hey there...I have exactly the same problem with my Lots-of-Choices Top! I think there's an error in the pattern, although there's no correction on the Errata page on Knitting Universe. I had someone take a look at the pattern and the problem and she thought that the V-neck should be a double decrease instead of a single decrease. What size are you knitting?
I'm knitting the largest size. The V neck side looks better to me. It will be interesting to see how the other side turns out starting with the v neck. I'm also going to "attempt" a change with this pattern in putting a button band on. I'm working on it now so I hope to have more done by end of this week
