Cavern of unfinished socks

Okay, so now my brother has two unfinished socks in my possession. I get so far in a sock and then suddenly I’m attacked by rampant knitter’s paranoia. Is this the wrong yarn for this project? Is this pattern completely off? Will this sock be any good, or will he be making sock puppets for the cats out of it?

The first sock just seemed to be too stretchy and too small. The second attempt at a sock seems to be way too long in the foot and not long enough in the … what do you call that bit at the top? The body? The pipe? The bit at the top? I also think I might run out of yarn since I only have two skeins.

I need a pattern for men’s socks. I know he’s a size 10 shoe, and I need a real pattern that will tell me how much yarn I need and how far to knit on the different parts. Anyone have suggestions?
