Pentathlon Problem

Everyone I’ve talked to so far has only done 6 pattern repeats for the SKP2008 Sock 2. Now, either I have massively huge feet or I’ve done something terrible wrong. I just finished the 7th repeat and I still need about an inch of fabric before I can start the toe. OK, an inch might be too much. But I can’t start the toe now or I will have no toe wiggle room! So I’m not sure what to do. I think the best course is to throw in a lifeline and knit half the pattern and then see what it looks like. Oh the decisions!
