I'm giving it another go.
This is the first sock of the 'Friday Harbor" socks for DH.

Just because I know you all were waiting with baited breath to find out what I did to fix my reading problem, I'll show you.
My seriously in need of a manicure finger is pointing to the row of purls up for discussion. The pattern told me to stop purling st the sides of the front panel when I go tto the gussett. well, I neglected to actually READ the pattern, and started to merrily knit along. Half way through I looked at the instructions. whoops. I was supposed to stop purling. Not about to rip it out, I had to find a logical place to stop purling. As you can see, I stopped at the end of the gussett decreases. Looks pretty good.
Yeah, well. I ALSO neglected to read that I was to knit ribbing on the sole of the foot. I wouldn't have done that anyway, but it would have been nice to choose that, as opposed to just not paying attention. I also changed the toe. I couldn't figure out the math to use my stitch count with the toe called for. I ended up doing a plain ole' toe.
I suppose I should call them "Friday Harbor Inspired Socks".
In sweater news, I am working on the sleeves! Just one and 2/3 more to go! Then I block, seam, collar and done! ok. It's still a lot. I'm trying to be positive!

Nice socks. And I can't wait to see your sweater. I have a question about picking up stitches in my vest dress project. However, I have to show you the dress in order to ask the question. BUT, I think I am not able to make it to SnB tomorrow (today) because I don't think my car would make it that far anymore since it broke down couple times last week after I drove for a long distance. So I guess I would see you whenever I got my new car. :( or maybe I should risk my life again to drive up there?
The socks look great. Thanks again for bringing your winder and swift last night. I just ordered a winder from Jo-ann's -- and I'm sending my dad the instructions to make the swift. :)
