Can you believe it?

I was (and am) working on a sock design I call Homograph currently. It's a toe up sock pattern with a special twist I was working on. However, when I looked at Widdershins again, I realized that my idea was devestatingly similar to a feature in Widdershins. I was thinking about maybe submitting it to Knitty or MagKnits, and who knows, I might still. But that might not happen because of this. Darn it!
