okay, I frogged the first one

The laddering and cast on didn't bother me nearly as much as the uneven yo k2tog and also the size. I started it as a medium but it looked really, really big. The new one is a small and is looking worlds better already. I've got the lace pattern corrected and I've got a better handle on the whole dpn thing and it seems to have fixed my laddering issues. Almost to the thumb gusset though and that makes me tres nervous.
