cotton candy

i used a TLC pink worsted for this pair of socks, and the pattern from
here. i liked the modular nature of this pattern, but the joining joining joining made me a little frustrated. my counting skills are less than excellent i must admit. :D it also seemed like it took more time to complete the project, although on looking at both pairs (winter's night & cotton candy) side by side, the pink ones look a bit smaller, with less yardage.
perhaps if i try the pattern again with a sport weight yarn, things will be easier? we shall see.
