Sweatergirl starts a sock
Despite saying I am very committed to finishing up some sleeves, I couldn't resist starting a Seaside sock. It all started innocently enough. I just wanted to "un-hank" the yarn to see how it was dyed. Then I couldn't resist winding it into a ball. Then I needed to know how big the color repeats would be, so I had to swatch (and wash the swatch - superwash has played tricks on me before). And then I found myself casting on 60 stitches, and, well, now the sock is started.
But it's great travel knitting and waiting-in-line-to-vote knitting (no line today however)...and not as tangly as the dueling Snail's Pace sleeves.
