In this particular case, the gauge isn't even close for garments.  There
is no way this yarn will knit at 7 sts to the inch and be usable for any
purpose other than lace.  Hmmmm, unless, perhaps, the manufacturer meant
for the yarn to be *doubled* <g>  Then 7 sts to the inch would be very
appropriate :)

glad the socks in question will be display only, but still embarassed at
their visible poor quality
