New Addiction

OK, this is the reason why I didn’t add “start fewer projects” to my new years’ resolutions…I found sock yarn. Yes, I know, socks have been a very popular thing for knitters over the past year, which is perhaps why I didn’t bother. But then I found a yarn that I couldn’t resist. It’s hunter, navy and white, with a splash of lime green, and it creates patterns while you knit with it. (That link will take you to a sample sock, which it similar to, but not exactly like, the sock I’m knitting.) What will they think of next? Now, having never knit a sock before, I probably should have just found a pattern and stuck to it, but I couldn’t find one I thought I’d want to wear when it was done, so I’m kind of making it up as I go along. All the hard part is done: I’ve knit the cuff and leg, turned the heel, and I’m about half-way down the foot. Of the first sock. :) I’d post pictures, but I haven’t been home enough to take any. Trust me, it’s cute.
